My background in theatre has fuelled my love for telling stories, and that's exactly what I aim to do with my images.
I work with artists and companies to promote work in a fun and vibrant way to your audiences.
I shoot all types of PERFORMANCES including theatre productions, gigs and festivals, as well as covering backstage & rehearsal shots.
I also offer HEADSHOT photography for actors, working professionals, students & businesses.
Although my focus is primarily theatrical photography, I am also available for functions, conferences and artistic projects - please check out my portfolio and don't hesitate to get in touch to discuss how we might work together!
I'm Michael (he/him) - a photographer based Manchester UK, mainly working across the North West, Yorkshire and London.
Hello!
REVIEWS
"Michael set up an environment that was relaxed and informal. He regularly checked in that I was happy with the shots so far and helped with the shortlisting process. He is massively passionate about what he does."
Fiona Moon: Headshot Session
"Working with Michael at Edinburgh Fringe 2024 was not only an absolute pleasure, his work surpassed expectations. He captures the art of live entertainment with flare and professionalism to the highest standard and couldn't recommend him enough. Thoroughly looking forward to working with him again!"
Demi McAleer: Underbelly Marketing Manager
"We got a folder of photos from Michael and every single one was a banger and immediately approved for use by our creative team. So talent is there - and we found working with him super chill and easy going. Can't wait to work together again!"
Heather Shields: Producer for BATSU!
"Michael recently took both promotional photos and headshots for our production of Chicago, and they are just wonderful! They perfectly captured the style of the show, and will be so lovely to look back on in the future! Thank you so much Michael!"
Martha Burton: Theatre Promotion Shoot
"I've never enjoyed having my photo taken and was quite nervous about the process. Michael was very understanding and made me feel comfortable in a matter of minutes. I actually began to enjoy the process, as he checked with me regularly, showing me the photos, asking what I thought and giving me his professional opinion. The end results were fantastic and each photo was wonderfully edited I couldn't be happier with the collection."
Alex Harvey Sporle: Headshot Session
"I booked Michael to do my headshots and the experience was great. He was very professional, made me feel comfortable and I am so happy with the final results. He sent me the edited photos in the time frame he said he would and was happy to alter anything I didn't like but I was thrilled with the first result! I'd definitely recommend him to anyone."
Mark McCredie: Headshot Session
