Biography

A professional photographer for 30 years, I am an Olympus Visionary Photographer and Managing Director of MJP Media. I have had numerous articles in the national newspapers as well as images used by BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky and CNN. Currently, over 100 million people have seen my images which is a strange and bizarre statistic given my trying to avoid the limelight.

I shoot sports professionally, with over 1,500 articles published in national  newspapers. I have similarly shot for Subaru UK, MG, Laser Tools Racing, Team BTC Norlin and many other racing teams, The Motor Show, The Autosport Show, The Motorcycle Show and many others. I have also provided promotional images for series such as British Superbikes, and been featured in a documentary on ITV. I also cover Superleague Rugby and many other sports.

Other fast moving subjects include military work with images supplied to the RAF, US Air Force and Israeli Air Force as well as covering the Royal International Air Tattoo for the UK Defence Journal for several years. I recently covered the arrival of the Royal Air Force's F35 Lightning aircraft with images going to the papers, Lockheed Martin and British Aerospace.

I regularly spend a lot of time on location doing wildlife and nature work for clients. My favourite work is with charities, including being the Royal British Legions Official Poppy Day Photographer in Manchester, Cardiff and Carlisle, work for the RAF Benevolent Fund, the RSPB and several other charities.

I shoot exclusively on Olympus cameras and lenses and own 2 x E-M1X's, 7-14mm pro, 12-40mm pro, 40-150mm pro, 300mm pro, 8mm pro, 45mm 1.2 pro, 60mm macro and 75mm 1.8. My website: www.mikeinkley.com shows the breadth of the work I shoot and the images on here are shot exclusively on Olympus since my conversion from Canon in 2015.

I have presented at Photokina, The Photography Show, Digital Splash and the LCE Pro show, as well as to many companies and camera clubs up and down the country. I am available for group and 1:1 tuition and you can contact me at mike@mjpmedia.com 

Cheers all!
