What about me?

Hi! I'm Mick.

I got my first camera when I was 18 and I had no clue how to use it. It was a Polaroid clone (that's where the peel to open name came from), I received as a Christmas gift. Turns out that there was a patent infringement on the Polaroid technology and the manufacturer was forced to cease production. At that point, the film for it became extinct and the manufacturer offered a crappy little camera as a replacement. I stuck with the shooting and learned as I went along. There's something about capturing a moment in time, a feeling, an expression that is hard to put into words.

In the 90's, I took a course on electronic publishing and graphic design and worked for a small firm in Regina. This is where I became aware of what a computer can do with photo images. From there, our firm jumped into website development, full force, and landed some nice contracts.

The photography is actually a hobby for me... but a passionate one. Though I have made a few dollars for my work, I'm not focused on getting rich doing it. It's way too much fun to worry about it as a means of income.

Well... enough about me... have a look around, Opinions are always welcome, so pop me an email and tell me what you all think.

Mick is the BEST! He is very professional and he made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Mick is so talented in what he does and has this quirky sense of humor that makes you smile. He just gets some great shots without effort it seems.

In one word he's the BEST ....

Being in front of the camera is easy when Mick is behind it!

Hi, my name is Michele and I am happy to say that it is a true pleasure working with Mick. It's because of him that I started modeling and we are working on a few ideas.


He works at a very professional level with great insight into ones inner beauty. Mick sees the shot he wants and always finds the away to get it, and he's always open to new ideas. I always have a lot of fun with our sessions.


Sensual, dramatic, poised... whatever it is your looking for Mick will find it in you. He has this way about himself, he is very caring and wise and very knowledgeable about what he is doing. It has been a pleasure working with Mick, and I look forward to doing more shoots in the future.
