Mike D Laing

PHOTOGRAPHER

I am a fashion editorial and advertising photographer based in Manchester.

I have been a photographer for 16 years, working with some fantastic brands and companies creating creative and striking imagery. I have had the pleasure of working with some of these brands for several years and have very much enjoyed being part of their evolution and continued growth.

Throughout my career as a photographer, I have worked on a broad range of photographic projects. From still life catalogues to online fast fashion e-commerce sites. This undeniably has shaped the way that I shoot today, combining the pursuit of perfection with the need for efficiency in bringing imagery and products to market. I now work with fashion brands on a range of marketing materials, visualising the brands identity through photography.

I have always been passionate about image making, and fell in love with the magic of photography in college when introduced to the dark room. As much as I am still nostalgic about the film process and love the tones that you get from film, I am far more excited about the digital process and the possibilities this offers.
