Michael is one of a kind. He even came with the wife on my surprise proposal to act as a decoy. The man is a legend. The pictures were beautiful too.

Event & Party Photography
Michael was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He got back to me with an initial response within 10 minutes of me sending a message. He was very professional and worked hard to fully understand what I was looking for and work to guide that vision with his expert knowledge to create something that looked great. When it came to prep Michael came to visit the location of the photo shoot a week before to make sure that when he arrived on the day it was a smooth and easy transition and we could jump straight into things, and when things changed he was able to easily adapt to the situation. All the images arrived with us within a week and looked great - Michael when above and beyond when it came to catering to my team's needs and providing us with something we are pleased to publicly use. I would definitely use Michael again in the future. More...

I would highly recommend Michael for helping with your CV & cover letter. Michael contacted me very quickly after I made an enquiry and has been absolutely wonderful to work with.
Michael listened and accurately understood my experience and aspirations. He re-did my CV and created me a cover letter at a very high standard that resulted in me getting an interview for the role I wanted. The employer specifically said how impressed they were with the covering letter!
Thank you for helping me get a foot in the door.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
For me, creativity and great composition are the most important aspect of taking, or making photographs.
You will hear photographers talk about technical aspects of lighting, ISO, aperture, f-stops, white balance, exposure and so on. Don't be confused or bamboozled by any of it. I have the knowledge and experience to deal with all of the technical details of photography. This comes from years of experimenting, learning, sharing good practices and advancing my skills so it becomes second nature. But we never stop learning from every new experience.
Taking care of the technical means that when it comes to the photo shoot, my energy and attention are directed to being creative and finding great compositions.
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting and talking to new people, getting to know what they need for themselves, their businesses or their projects, and finding the best way to help them move forward.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We've all been through some challenging times last few years and I have been inspired by so many people. One thing stands out above everything else for me: everybody has a story to share. Whatever your story is, I can help you tell it through my images.
Why should our clients choose you?
I will tell your story through the photographs we make together.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes!
Of course, portraits, headshots and event photographs need to be captured in person ?. But we can discuss remotely beforehand as it really helps to get to know my clients before the shoot, find out what sort of images they're looking for and the character or story they want to tell through my work.
Product photography is generally done remotely, with items delivered to me or I can collect if a reasonable distance. I like to clarify my clients' needs and expectations before shooting and if needed a zoom call can help go over any details with the product in hand.
Product Photography
I am Michael Thorn, a skilled photographer.
I can assist you if you are searching for an experienced photo artist. I indulged in photography as a hobby for more than three decades before making it my profession. My service list consists of product photography, event photography, headshot photography, landscape photography, pet photography and photo editing. I also have a range of limited-edition fine art photography prints.
With product photography it is essential to portray the key elements of the product that set it apart from others. Before I move forward with a project, I like to establish the needs of my clients so that they get the best and most relevant product images to suit how they will be marketed. This may include particular angles, close ups, settings and props as well as choice of background, number of shots, sizes and finishing. More often, clients like me to lead the product shoot, making use of my creative skills and reviewing proofs before final edits or completed. Either way I am happy to give a range of options to suit my clients’ needs and budgets so that informed decisions can be made.
My services are available at reasonable prices. I am happy to travel reasonable distances to collect products from you which enables me to discuss any specifics with the products to hand. In most cases, products are delivered to me by courier for the shoot and returned once completed.

CV Support
Thank you for your interest in my CV Support service. As an experienced CV and employment coach, I can assist you with reviewing, drafting and editing your CV. I have extensive experience in recruitment and employment advice across a wide range of sectors which has enabled me to help many candidates secure their next job.
I like to find out as much from my clients as possible to make sure that their CV genuinely reflects their abilities whilst highlighting their strongest points and the issues that matter most to the employer and the sector they are applying to. In most cases, after the initial appointment, I will request some additional information and ask my clients to think carefully about what the employer will be looking for, and then hold a shorter follow up appointment before completing the final draft. In the process, I hope to provide my clients with the tools that they need to adapt their CV in the future but I am available for further advice if you feel the need.
My services are available at reasonable prices and we can meet online via zoom or by telephone to begin your consultation.
Looking forward to helping you move on to the next stage of your career.
