"I have worked with Michael on two separate occasions at two separate photo shoots; Whale Beach and Balmoral Beach. Michael was fantastic to work with as I had not had a lot of exposure to modelling and photo shoots at the time. He was friendly and easy to get along with and made the whole photo shoot a fun experience!

By being open to my suggestions throughout the entire process, whilst providing his professional opinion about all aspects concerned, the result was photographs that exceeded my expectations! I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone in the future". - Rebecca



"Well what can i say about Michael. If you're looking for a photographer where you not only form a work relationship, but also a great friendship with, its Mick. From the very first shoot I had with him, he explained everything to me, was easy going, patient, and above all, we had a great time.

I have worked with Michael on many occasions and over this time, we have taught each other alot and also formed a great bond. We always have a laugh, and our photoshoots have always been laid back, yet very professional. Michael's passion for photography is clearly evident in his amazing photographs. He takes pride in every shot and is always trying to better himself.

I truly believe in Michael, he has such a passion for what he does, he has always given me the exact photos I was after and each photoshoot was memorable. Good luck with everything Michael". - Larissa

He produces the results exceptionally fast and the quality is fantastic!" - Steph

"I recently did a shoot with Michael Thomas and he was fantastic to work with. His easy going, friendly and fun personality made the shoot so relaxed and everything was just a breeze. His professionalism was exceptional which showed in the photos. The results were outstanding. I've done many photo shoots and Michael's are definitely the best so far.

Being a model and a professional photographer myself, I was very impressed and absolutely love the photos. He captured flattering angles and every photo is unique.

I'm hoping to work with him again soon and I have no hesitations in recommending him to any model or client!" - Hollie



"I have been in the industry most of my life and in that time I have met photographer after photographer. Most try to direct you and basically tell you what they want... I loved the fact that Michael asked me what I was after and allowed me to explain what I wanted.

I'm extremely happy with the results.... the photos look amazing and unique which was exactly what I was after.

His work is of outstanding quality and he should be very proud of it. Michael was polite, professional and made me feel very comfortable and he was lots of fun too. We spent a lot of time laughing throughout the shoot.

He is one of the nicest photographers I have met and I'm looking forward to working with him again". - Fran



"I really enjoyed working with Michael. He is down to earth and friendly, and really easy to work with. As a model, it is important for me to be able to connect with a photographer and to be able to communicate ideas, especially to obtain the quality of photographs that we did.

I would recommend Michael to anyone, he is polite, professional, and also great fun to shoot with. Thank you Michael". - Jacci



"I'm a Sydney Based Swimwear/Glamour Model and recently worked with Michael Thomas on the beautiful Eastern Suburbs beaches.

What an amazing photographer! Capturing the Natural sunlight and shooting at great artistic angles, we managed to get some amazing shots. Michael was professional, to-the-point, spontanious and listened to my suggestions whilst also capturing his own style in the images.

I thoroughly recommend him to anyone wanting to further their portfolio or simply wanting some amazing natural, but clean images". - Amanda



"I have worked with many photographers and would have to say Michael is one of my favourite.

I recently did a shoot at La Perouse with Michael and it was great. Although it was cold and he made me get in the freezing water, he was happy to put up with my whining, ha ha!. He is a very professional photographer and a kind person. I found Michael very easy to work with, always giving direction and tips but at the same time listening and trying out ideas I had as well. I walked away from the shoot happy, we captured some great shots and had fun whilst doing it. I definitely look forward to working with him again in the future.

I recommend Michael to anyone looking to create or update their portfolio, you will be impressed :)" - Lauren



"Michael seems to be the photographer who gets 'that shot'. The one you look at and go 'WOW!'. He is very personable and a pleasure to work with. He moves quickly through a variety of different shots including outfits, poses and settings which makes for an interesting and fast paced session.

He informs you when to change or hold a pose, which from the model's perspective is really helpful. I had a lot of fun!". - Tarah



"Michael is a really welcoming photographer who made me feel very relaxed and comfortable from the word go. He is open to trying new things which is great and he had some nice ideas.

I really enjoyed working with Michael and would definitely recommend him to models looking to expand their portfolio". - Corinne



"I have worked with Michael on two separate occasions now - the first time was when he was just starting out as a professional photographer and the second time was a couple of years later. I must say how very impressed I am with his professionalism, his photography, and his personality on both occasions.

I was especially impressed with the second shoot i did with him which was a beach/bikini shoot at Caves Beach using all natural lighting. I have always been slightly hesitant to do a beach shoot because i didn't want photos that were cliche or typical and the results Michael helped me achieve really did exceed my expectations. It was so easy to communicate what i was after with Michael and he was really open to any suggestions while also providing me with very helpful hints on getting better lighting and angles. He also made me feel really comfortable and relaxed which I believe produces such better photographs.

Michael's work has always been amazing and he has the ability to capture the exact photograph you're after. His skills as a professional photographer are exceptional and ever-improving which I believe shows just how passionate and dedicated he is to his work. I have no hesitation in recommending Michael for any kind of shoot from individual to groups, or amateurs to professionals". - Beck
