Mike is a British filmmaker and photographer, currently based in Barcelona.
After rocky beginnings having been caught doing graffiti as a teenager, he was more or less forced to find new creative outlets and turned towards filming graffiti instead. In a strange turn of events this worked out quite well and Mike was able to turn this passion of documenting the arts into a career.
It’s curiosity which often gets the better of him. As a creative person himself, Mike was always keen to try any and all forms of artistic medium and through his camera he’s able to do exactly that. Stepping into people’s studios and documenting the diversity, creative process and incredible talent became truly inspirational for Mike and laid out the early ideas for what he’d now call CASUAL.
His biggest project to date, CASAUL is his own form of creative expression and appreciation for artistic communities around the world. As a traveller and someone who feels most at home when away, Mike takes gratitude in this common ground and familiarity be it in Barcelona, Sáo Paulo, London or Tokyo. No matter where he is, he feels as though this community is a consistent source of inspiration, curiosity and kindness.
