A bit about me, then.

My name is Mike Bishop, and I've lived in the Liverpool area all of my life, growing up in the Wirral then moving to Liverpool itself after finding the allure of the city (and everything that city life brings) too much to resist.

Photography has been a passion of mine for many years, although until fairly recently it was limited to holiday photographs and nights out with friends - the usual fare. I grew frustrated with the limitations of your average point and shoot camera and it came to a head after trying to photograph the HMS Illustrious warship on the docks one sunny afternoon, and so in 2011 I bought my first Digital SLR camera. Things snowballed from there, as an ever-growing hunger to learn more about the world of photography fused with the almost limitless possibilities that owning a decent camera brings.

After a few gear upgrades, a lot of frustrating learning curves and many late nights, I'm now in the position where I'm confident in my abilities and able to produce high quality images to suit a range of customer needs, as well as satisfying my own lust for a decent photo. I'm rarely without a camera at my side, snapping away at all and sundry.

MichaelJamesPhotography.co.uk (Michael James is a family first and middle name combination passed down through generations) was established in 2013, after local demand grew for my photography work. So far, my work has been published in Wirral Globe, Liverpool Daily Post and Liverpool Echo newspapers, as well as featured on Granada Tonight, a regional news television programme. I won't be happy until I'm on the cover of Time magazine though - we've all gotta have a goal, right?

If you need images for your business, I'd love to help you out. If you need someone to capture your event, I'd love to help you out. Hell, if you just need a nice photo for above the fireplace, again I would love to help you out.

If you need photography of any type, consider me. Get in touch; we'll have a natter.
