Michele's story
Having been a freelance photographer since the 80's, I have worked for many publications throughout my career and cannot show my entire body of work on this site.
From the 90's till early 21st Century, I specialised mainly in photographing the male physique and worked with the Gay Press Worldwide. By the 90’s I was supplying most of the Gay Press in London; Gay Times, AXM, QX, Diva, Boyz, shooting covers, fashion, gym and figure photography. My work has also been published In France, Switzerland, Spain, Germany, the US and in the prestigious Blue Magazine in Australia. A vast array of books on the Male Nude also contain my images.
My commercial work includes Campaign on Hepatitis C for the Department of Health, Myeloma UK, Living Well, Hello!

Music is also a big part of my work, I have been commissioned to shoot album covers and publicity shots for The Fixx, Pete Burns and numerous singers and DJ’s.
