about us...

mike
in 1991...
I packed in my life in civil engineering and after hitch hiking around Africa and Australia, went to night school to further my hobby - photography. In 1993 I turned full time professional & have evolved from there.
I have tried & tested new products for Hassleblad & Kodak, given talks and seminars on photography and people to colleges and organisations.
with His Excellency Radu Onofrei Ambassador of Romania and Kevin Wilson president of the MPA April 2001
in 2000...
I was sponsored by FujiFilm and others to go to Romania to document the positive impact of aid from the west on street kids and orphans. The resulting exhibition entitled 'New Life' has travelled around the country and been hosted by the Romanian Ambassador in London, The Royal Photographic Society and The Master Photographer of the Year Awards. The project was covered by the press, TV and radio. The images are still being syndicated world wide and have been used by USAID, The Department for Foreign Investment, The World Population Institute and others.

Then I met Jayne....

in 1983...
I started my first job as a News Producer in Radio, and within a year had moved to TV. More than twenty years later (and four children!) I work part of the year as a senior broadcast TV producer and the rest with Mike in photography and video, whether it's for weddings, PR or corporate

Since working together, we've been making a documentary to revisit those who featured in 'New Life' exhibition and find out what's happened to the people, and to Romania itself, over the last 4 years. Filming is now complete and cutting the film is underway.

We've also made an Arts documentary on building custom motorcycles for ITV regions, broadcast in April 03. We've both worked on two series of 'Who do you think you are?' for BBC TV's UK Style channel. We've another Arts documentary in the pipe line about the visual aspect of food.

The TV work has given us the perfect experience for a unique style of wedding and corporate video. A recent job was filming a multi-million property development in Portugal. Visit the TV & Video section for more information.

In our spare time we ride motorcycles, have fun with the kids, Jayne pursues her passion for developing houses, and we read and dream about travelling some more. We're both into personal development and have a fantastic personal and professional relationship based on always being completely honest wtih each other (even when we don't want to!) We both love France and plan to increasingly divide our time living and working between France and the UK .

.We're privileged to specialise in working with people and consider ourselves pretty lucky to be working together, doing such fun and creative jobs!
