The persona behind the lens
Mike was once asked who's side are you on? Mike's reply was simply" I don't take sides I take pictures."
"LET THE PICTURES DO THE TALKING"
One of my old press cards from 1985/86
Mike is a professional photographer with over 30 years experience,
Mike's Love of photography started when he was at school and recalls we always had a camera in the house my mum who was quite artistic was a big influence on developing my creative side and encouraged me to take up art , music and later photography.
Mike started his professional photographic career as a press photographer for a South African newspaper during the early 80,s and later as a freelance photographer allowing him to develop a creative flair, with a curious, instinctive ,intuitive style of photography and have the ability to adapt to the situation in front of the camera sometimes even under difficult circumstances and still produce stunning images.
"It all started with an ich that needed constant scratching, for me photography is not just a job its a way of life . "
