About Me

I've worked as a freelance music/culture photographer and press photojournalist since 1987. I've taken images of Royalty, politicians, celebrities like Super Model Caprice, singer Cerys Matthews & Catatonia, Thin Lizzy, Status Quo, Tia Magraff, One night of Queen, Ska Cubano, Transglobal Underground, Davey Spillane, Unsigned local bands Capguns, Upstarts, Radio Luxembourg, Trader, and The Stilletoes. If you require promotional images taken professionally and with care, tailored to what you need, I will not provide my work for free, but I do not charge stupid prices, I do provide well choreographed, caringly shot images in both film and digital to give you the best photographs for your posters, album covers and websites.Vist my own website www.mikerobertsphotography.webeden.co.uk
