TESTIMONIALS

Dean Northcott

Photographer

 

I have worked with Michel for 8 years now. The reason I keep coming back is that he has an ability to see the bigger picture when working on an image and interpret what I am saying and showing him in a way that helps me take my vision for the image to another level. He is a pleasure to work

with and always has a 'can do' attitude and is willing to go that extra mile for you. He has a great eye for detail and a strong creative opinion when asked. I would not hesitate to recommend Michel for his retouching skills and indeed often do to my clients.

Head of art

 

I've known Michel for about 10 years and in that time he's made hundreds of images for me. He never fails to amaze me with his skill, artistry and talent for creating pictures. He is a retoucher without equal, and a highly skilled photographer who understands exactly what is required creatively and technically. No task or time frame ever phases the man!

What's more he's also one of the nicest guys you could hope to meet.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him.

We call Michel the magician as he has the ability to turn the smallest conceptual idea into reality. By far has the best eye for detail that I have worked with and will always go the extra mile to make sure you and the client get what you have asked for. In my time working with Michel we have shot Glenfiddich whisky bottles, brought back to life portraits from 1887, and even made penguins dance for Sea Life Aquariums. He's always the first person I turn to when I want to turn a sketch into a awarding winning work!

Michel is always my first port of call – a fantastic weapon to deploy on any project. His retouching & photography skills combined make him an irresistible proposition.

He’s creative, versatile and incredibly reliable.  Not only does he have the technical & conceptual skills to get the job finished to the highest standard, he also has patience and bags of personality.

 

Mark Jones - Gravity  E.T.C.

Creative  Director

 

Without a doubt, Michel's attention to detail, getting the idea quickly and quick turnaround makes him the go to digital retoucher for us. His skill delivering on time, on budget and with super quality is the magic 3 for us: Quick, good value and quality. Perfect for us when we're presented with a tight deadline. Either jumping onto a project halfway through and using our in-house retoucher files, or building a photo shoot and taking it through to final deliverables makes him so versatile for us - a pleasure to work with always.

and Live event creative

 

I have had the pleasure of working with Michel a couple of times but most recently on the UEFA Euro2016 Trophy Tour where I needed him to create a 360º image of the inside of the Stade de France Stadium with fans, flags and branding. The end result was amazing and the attention to detail spot on. Michael is brilliant at what he does, quite simply the best. His attitude is always very professional and positive and he will do what it takes to create what you want, without grumble, to the highest quality finish possible.
