A couple weekends ago I got to shoot another Born Survivor event while battling the elements, but at least I didn’t have to go through the mud, over the flames and in dunk tanks like the runners did!

I still think everyone managed to have a bloody good time though.

What a night!

For a few years now I’ve been trying to shoot Encounter Festival’s Torchlight Procession through Preston but this year is the first time I’ve had a clear enough calendar to make it.

Huge credit to everyone involved, they definitely brought a big party vibe coming through the city.

Here’s to the next one.

What a weekend in the sun!

From shooting The Red Barrows to The Speaker of the House of Commons, from TV royalty to an Interior Design Master, from kids competition winners to kids throwing axes and near enough everything in between.

I still can’t tell the difference between one plant and another but Chorley Flower Show was a blast.

Here’s a few highlights while I work on the full gallery for the next couple days.

Strand Corner Studio 2024 - 2026.

One of my favourite things about being freelance is having the ability to stay flexible, pivot when necessary and generally just being able to go with the flow.

Over the last few months my business has slowly morphed into something slightly different than it was. I’ve found myself working on location more and using the studio less. This coupled with newly introduced charges from the landlords made me sit and think of a new plan going forward and that plan is to remove the overheads of the studio and focus on continuing to work on location again.

I’ll still be shooting portraits and headshots, I’ll still be working with as many bands and musicians as I can and I’ll still be covering some great events, but you won’t be finding me in my own studio for a while.

I’ve loved having my nice big studio, I’m proud of everything I’ve produced in there and allowing other people to have a space to create in but now is the right time to be moving on.

The studio will be closed with immediate effect (today, Saturday August 1st) so I can use my full 30 days notice to actually get all of my stuff out!

For any other photographers or studio owners there will be bits and pieces available (equipment/furniture/props) that I’m not keeping so if you’re in need of anything drop me a message and I’ll get the details to you when I can.

For everyone else who has stepped foot in the studio over the last two years, thank you for your support but now it’s time for something else.

Big love,
Mik.

Might be a little short notice but this Wednesday (so long as the weather still holds) I’ll be hosting a photo walk around Avenham and Miller parks in Preston for whoever fancies joining us. Meeting outside The Conti between 6 & 6:30pm then we’ll set off wandering through the parks snapping as we go.

Free for anyone and everyone.

The second night of the Strand Corner Camera club will soon be upon us!

We’ll be having a portfolio review with Q&A night. A fun way to get to know everyone, their work and an opportunity to show off your own. I’ll be putting my own portfolio on the chopping block too so head on down to see what everyone’s working with and pick a few brains if you want to.

All welcome.

New financial year, new me?

Naaah just some new self portraits, new website and new photo packages. I’m still the same old loveable rogue I always was.

Head over to mikconnorphotography.com for a nosey and no matter what you want shooting, I’m here to make you look like the rockstar you are. Big love!
