Working with me

Mike is someone I admire greatly, both for his technical ability and the thought he brings to every frame. He has a real talent for creating images that feel alive, considered and vibrant, while making the people in front of the camera feel completely at ease. He's someone I trust deeply on set, particularly when working with sensitive subjects, and over the years he's become both a close friend and someone I've learned a huge amount from. We've developed a workflow together that feels effortless, professional and impactful, and I'm excited to keep growing, collaborating and making great work together for many years to come.

MACKMADE— Fraser Mackenzie, Director

Michael is the bar by which I judge other videographers. Not just for his diligence, his commitment and his constant, abundant creativity, but for the way he works with me, our clients and crew. Michael is always willing to listen, while giving the best advice and direction. He makes me laugh out loud, he's the first name on the team sheet for me. He always goes the extra mile, and far beyond. We've worked together more times than I can remember and I am always thrilled with his output. Just last week, Michael filmed and edited a very important piece of work for me as I was away on another job, the client couldn't stop praising both his output and work ethic. I trust him implicitly. As you might have gathered, I'm a big fan!

Yada Yada— Laurence Lennard, Director

I've worked with Michael on countless projects over the years, and he's become my absolute go to, the first person I book for any event we take on. He's essentially my right hand man at this point. Michael's always on time and completely reliable, which means I can trust him to work directly with my clients without any concerns. The quality and volume of footage he delivers is outstanding, his shot selection and composition are spot on every time. Beyond the technical skills, Michael's an all round great guy who brings excellent energy to every shoot. I really can't emphasise enough how valuable it is to have someone who's this aligned with your vision, someone you can trust to just crack on and treat each project like it's his own.
