MYK love the pic of the hand brings a whole new meaning to the word. GET OUT OF HERE. haha Troy 1st Oct 2004
I have just finished a great days shoot with 2 NM mega stars, Big Guy at the Bakery AKA Myk and JuneC. We did some arty but bit raunchy/sexy couples pics of June and Troy Stevens, NOT ADULT IN ANY WAY. The theme was a nice balance not tame but very discrete and very different from other stuff on my folio . June had the patience of a saint to see the shoot through while I made a mess of lighting, in the end we nailed it. I will be posting a few over the next day or 2. When you meet up and work with folk of this quality or see the quality of the images others on NM create, the untruths fade into insignificance. PJEPHOTO Sep 29 2004
Myk & June Thanks for a great days shooting at the Bakery and thanks for your patience esp JC. At one point I thought I had blown the whole day and to end up some some stunning images at the end was just great. See ya soon. Pete 29 Sep 2004
Hi MYK, Great studio, great atmosphere, FANTASTIC PEOPLE TO WORK WITH.... Hope to work with you again soon Many thanks Troy. 29 Sep 2004
Well we liked your show best too....S&D 26 Sep 2004
Hi Myk, I didnt get chance to speak to you yesterday to introduce myself. I am just emailing to thank you for your hospitality yesterday. It was the first time I had been and throughly enjoyed it,excellent venue,facilities and speakers. I was a bit concerned though I think we may have left you the washing up to do upstairs.!!!! BRIAN 26 Sep 2004
Hi Myk a quick note to say how much I enjoyed today and to say that I thought your delivery on the slide show was excellent !. Particularly liked the humour ... they have have drink then do this....then have a drink and do this ... This was the sex education lesson etc. Just shows that photography can be fun!!! Looking forward to the next meeting, thanks again ... G 25 Sep 2004
Hey Myk!! Only me, Luce!! Just a quick e mail to thank you for everything you did for me on Thursday-I love all of my photos, and I'm especially glad for all of the advice you gave me!! Luce 17 Sep 2004
But credit must be given to our main photographer Myk from The Bakery Photographic Studios, who besides taking some great shots for the fashion and photographic sections of the book, and the majority of the product shots, taught me patience! Just as you can’t hurry a good make up, Myk taught us that you can’t hurry a good photograph either. Suzanne Aug 2004
Hi hun, Sorry I've not been in touch. My computer has not been able to send emails for days. Anyway, can you make the cheque out to Kate Ross, which is me and my normal name. Thanks Myk. And thanks again for a fab weekend. I enjoyed every minute, and would love to come again if you ever needed me. Hope you are well. Kind Regards Tempesta.... 16 Jul 2004

Was really chuffed when I found out about the win of best model on the Sunday! The whole TFP party was great and would love to be included on future ventures! Regards Cal ;-) 05 Jul 2004
Hi there myk, Hope u are well, just to let u know how chuffed i am to have won one of the model prizes, i really appreciate it, and now i just cant wait to see the cd's - what a shame about cleveland- i was especially pleased with my session with him, hopefully they'll be a few! Will give you a bell soon (wanted to chat about going on net.model etc) thanks again, take care Louise w :) 2 Jul 2004
Thanks for the day. I enjoyed it immensely no matter what results I obtained George S 2 Jul 2004
Many thanks for the invite to the BAKERY - as I've said previously it was a really enjoyable day ... can we go on your list for next year ...like every man and his dog I bet !!!!! Norm 30 Jun 2004
Myk Yes I had a great time, especially on the Sunday, once I found my feet. and was very impressed with your studios, I'll certainly come there again. I am pleased with the results, I think the sheet shots worked well in the end and glad that I came! ... Kind Regards Mark. 28 Jun 2004
Myk, thanks. The photos look really good. Bill 28 Jun 2004
Hi Myk, I will post my pictures by the end of next week. I am still really slow at figuring out curves in Photoshop and it takes me a little longer till I am happy with the finished product. I want to thank you again for a most enjoyable time at the Bakery. We will definitely be in contact because as it turns out, your studio is only an hour away. Hopefully together we will have some great ideas for on-location shots. Thanks again, Derek 26 Jun 2004
Hello you, Just a quick thanks for putting on a great event at the weekend i had a great time, is there anything else i need to fill in regarding it? JuneC xxXxx 25 Jun 2004
Myk Just a quick email to let you know that I have just posted the CD off to you so hopefully you should have it tomorrow and to once again say thanks for a great weekend. I hope it wasn't too stressful for you!. Regards
Mark. 25 Jun 2004
I was looking for an image to make a birthday card for my girl. It just so happen that I came across the champagne glass pic and was wondering if I could use it for the card. I would greatly appreciate it Darren 25 Jun 2004
Hi Myk, How are you? Thanks for CD its great, will make sure I credit you. Speak soon, Sue , 23 Jun 2004
Hi Hun, Many thanks for a superb weekend first of all. I learnt so much and met some fab people, and am so happy i got to work with Cleveland and Susan. Look forward to hearing from you. And thanks again. Lots of love Txxx 22 Jun 2004
Hi Myk, Thank you for a great weekend, and sorry again for being so late on Sat, hopefully I made up for it on Sun. Lovely studios and will be interested in booking it in the future. Hope you are well and happy with the results of the weekend, abi x 22 Jun 2004
Hi Myk, just wanted to thank you and everyone involved for your superb organisation over the weekend. I found the TFP Party fun and useful as I'm sure everyone did. FYI I did another unscheduled shoot on Sunday - in addition to the ones you wrote down and the shoots on your schedule, I shot with Susan/Tony alongside Tempesta in the last black-hole session of the day. Would be great if I could get copies of those pix also when they come through. Thanx again, all the best Will 21 jun 2004
Hi Myk Thanks again for your hospitality. I should have the DVDs with you by the end of the week, I'm moving house this week so hope to get them away before it. I'm send the girls a copy of everything in original jpg but will work on anything they want altering afterwards. As you can Imagine they take a while to do with the retouching so I've got a good months work ahead! Anyway any problems give me a ring. Cheers Dean. Ps here's the curve! 21 June 2004
Hi Myk with a Y I bet your shattered! I just wanted to thank you as well for inviting me to the TFP party i had a really good time and made lots of contacts, it was a lot of fun! We agreed TFP ye and i will let you know nearer the time what time to expect me,it should be about 9.50 but i will confirm for you the day before. See you soon chicken Genny x 21 Jun 2004
Hi Myk, many thanks for the weekend and your help, even with everyone after your attention! I am on 12 hr shifts for a few days, so it will be difficult to get the Cd's to you before the weekend, but I'll try. Where else could I get a photographic experience like this weekend! Excellent! I'll be in touch soon with Cd's, Regards, Ged 20 Jun 2004
Myk Thanks for a great weekend, great facilities and organization! From Susan and my point of view we got far more than we expected. Partly due to work and partly due to the amount of pictures that I took, it will be at least two and maybe even three weeks before I can send the pictures, but I will try and be as quick as possible. As for the best model, on Saturday I will vote for Abby, and on the Sunday Nelly Bosier, I am very sorry that I didn't photograph her more, I only realized too late how good she was. Thanks again Tony 21 Jun 2004
Myk Thanks again for a great weekend, I really enjoyed it! I'm working on processing the images as I tend to do a lot of post processing on them, it may take me a while. Hopefully I should have the cd-ready for posting by the end of the week. Regards Mark. 21 Jun 2004
Dear Myk Thanks for the opportunity of suggesting I come to the TFP party. certainly enjoyed the chance to work with different photographers and meet other models, and it was really enjoyable day - and the food was lovely! I hope we get to work with each other in the future. Best wishes Selene 21 Jun 2004
Hi Mike, Thanks alot for organising today's event, I really enjoyed working in this friendly, warm environment. Hopefully there will be many more to come!! Bye for now, Natalya. 20 Jun 2004
Myk Thanks for a great weekend I am in Sunny Seattle and should be back in Blighty early next week if I drop the CD off a week on Tuesday would that be OK Martin 20 Jun 2004
Hiya Myk (Mike with a 'y') :O) Thanks for your reply. I checked out your website and must say it's very impressive! The scenery is beautiful (I especially like the ruins - I'm fascinated by old buildings) and you appear to have an amazing eye for opportunity! I'm going to have a drive out to your open day (Sun 20th) and take a look around if that's ok - I just want to get an idea what it's all about as I'm a complete novice, and I also want to see how long it takes to get to your studio so I can work out an appropriate time to book a shoot with you (I hate being late for anything so I don't want to give you an arrival time that's impossible for me to meet!). Is it ok if I bring the boys along just on the open day (they're 12 & 4 years old and extremely well behaved - and no, I'm not just saying that cos I'm biased! Lol)? It's ok if kids aren't allowed, it'll just give me time to sort out a childminder if you could let me know beforehand - though, to be honest, I wouldn't mind making a day out of it by showing them around the local landmarks. Anyway, I've rambled on enough! I look forward to hearing from you. Take care, Claudette xxx

Hi Myk, It was a brill weekend, really good experiance and a rare opportunity! Was so glad to be part of it. It was really nice to meet the photographers and the other models. Have you had any pics back yet? I am just dying to see some! Would you be able to e-mail me the one staning by the cat (with the skirt)? I like that one. Hayden and Cleveland were enquiring if I was attending next week, have you still got a full quota? Regards Callie ;-) 16 Jun 2004
Hi Myk Was indeed an enjoyable weekend - many thanks - I'm only just recovering now. CD will be in the post tomorrow, so you should hopefully have it by Saturday? Hope it all goes well for you again this weekend all the best russell Wed, 16 Jun 2004 14:39:37
Dear Myk hope you have recovered from yesterday - I didn't sleep a wink - so exhausted today. Thanks for being so calm! and for all your hard work. I have attached a video/video cover which I intend to use as part of a student starter kit for students and these boxes will hold their make-up. Can your computer do a compilation of 3/4 shots from the shoot to make up the front cover? Oh - the lady in red! Emma - maybe there is a good one of her I could put in the book? - as it was about the only make up I did!! No doubt be in touch later - when I will have loads more questions! bye for now - let me know about the video box please - and do you know a printer that could print me off 1,000 copies - asap Suzanne 16 Jun 2004
Thx Myk, I'm ever hopeful for bigger and better things. I'll pop a cheque in the post and I really appreciate the help you gave and allowing me to use your photo... I'll try a few more if that's OK and once they start selling, hopefully
charge a little more. Best wishes Richard 16 Jun 2004
Louise Woodfield - Stunning, fun, very good for first time!! (All models I worked with were helpful and pleasant) ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR A GREAT DAY! Regards, Steve. 16 Jun 2004
Myk Cheers for last weekend it was good fun. Did you say we were to forward CDs to you for distribution and you would e-mail out some sort of global release?, or did a dream that. Pete 15 Jun 2004
Thank you for the past 2 days it was a wonderful experience! :-) The makeup artists said they wanted me there today if possible. And i really wish i could be. (Hope you will let me back, if i ever need or wish to.) and just to double check, my address is - ...thanks. :-) SallyAnn 14 Jun 2004
Hi Myk Thanks for last Saturday - looking forward to next Saturday. Alun 14 Jun 2004
Hi Myk, Just wanted you to know how much George and I enjoyed the day - had a great time. If you have problems with next weekend due to photographers crying off (which I'm sure you won't) then please bear us/me in mind as late substitutes Please also thank Nathan for his help and your "canteen workers" they did a great job too. When talking to -30Na.0than he said he could put me in touch with some people in Altrincham re my "photographing dance" project - b+.+---ut we never got to talk later - maybe if he has five minutes he could drop me an email with the info. Many thanks again, I'm sure the next three sessions will be a success. Norm.13 Jun 2004
Myk double thanks - first for such great day and the invitation to come along. I really enjoyed myself back in the "gogs" (gogledd = north Wales). It was great to meet so many that were previously just pictures or names on a screen. Becky was WELL chuffed with some of the results and the opportunity to work with other photogs although I think she may not have been what they were expecting. Made good time and got back home in around 3.25 hours. and the 7 hours travel was worth every minute THANK YOU Martyn 12 Jun 2004

myk, Thanks for sending me the link. I'm really pleased with the pictures - John did a good job, didn't he?; and thanks very much for helping to make the day go so well - you made it great fun for both of us. Look forward to working with you again 'Jayne' x 21 May 2004

Hi myk, I have uploaded the 12 pictures that *** likes most to the big loaf server.She would like to use the pseudonym of 'Jayne' which is her middle name. *** really enjoyed the shoot and is really pleased with the pictures. Regards and thanks again. John 20 May 2004
Hello Mike, I would like to thank you for your hospitality and an excellent informative evening, all the students enjoyed touring your facilities, and listening to your talk I am sure that some of them will visit you in the future. I would like to visit you again later this year with another group if that would be alright, looking forward to seeing you again soon. Regards Margaret 20 May 2004
Hi myk, Many thanks again for all your help with the unusual shoot with *** on Monday. I really do appreciate the help, ideas and guidance you give me when I visit the bakery studio. I have learnt a lot on this visit especially paying more attention to detail, unfortunately I was not concentrating on the wine glass enough it looked ok on the preview screen of the camera but on the computer it is blown out and lost too much detail. Never mind I have like I always do when using your studio learnt something very valuable. I will see *** this afternoon or tomorrow morning and see which photos see prefers. How do I go about uploading them to you? Regards John 19 May 2004
I was really impressed with your facilities and the visit has taken a load off my mind, knowing that my photos will be in safe hands! Suzanne 15th May 2004
Hi Myk Yes, I love the pix that you posted!! Thank you so much. Emma.xx 14th May 2004
Many thanks for an excellent evening. We both enjoy a session which gives rise to discussion and questions ? ?? No doubt that digital is the future even the film Luddites amongst us will eventually change. Regards, Clive and Celia 13th May 2004
I didnt think you would put ALL the funny ones in!! But hey, there are 1 or 2 diamonds in there as well. Looking forward to the CD. Thanks again for a wonderful day. Regards xTx 5 May 2004
Gill, The following link is the photographer I mentioned ... They have excellent studio facilities and high end digital photography. Do a lot of model work but also pack shots etc. I can definitely recommend myk (mike with a 'y' ) and the Bakery studios - excellent photography / reasonable prices. Myk did all the pictures and adding logo's etc on the pictures of Dani ... Regards Ian 24 Mar 2004
Thanks Myk you are a star. Daniella x x 23 Mar 2004
You will be pleased to know that my neighbours, Andrew & Caroline, were VERY pleased with the photo's I took on Wednesday Raymond 20 Mar 2004
Have just posted some images taken today with Lucidique at Myk's studio, The Bakery, near Wrexham. Myk was brilliant again, very helpful and his usual welcoming self. The studio speaks for itself. If you are looking for a shoot in the Northwest UK, it cannot get much better than this combination Pete 9 Mar 2004
Just wanted to say that I have just spent a couple of days up with Myk in his studio. Well what can I say other than WOW! The studio is fantastic, has absolutely everything you need. A dream to photographers. It's definitely a gadget place...boys and their toys!! Working with Myk was fab, a really great photographer, lots of great...and crazy ideas, just how I like it! So basically I would highly recommend Myk and his studio's to anyone. Vix 17 Feb 2004
The photographs you recently did of Janine are absolutley stunning This is just the type of thing I'm wanting to do, particularly the abstract images ... cheers mate, and once again, magic stuff Gav 16 Feb 2004
Hey Myk Just wanted to say hi and a big thanx for having me at the BAKERY, I really enjoyed my time there, and we got some great images, can't wait to see them!! ... It really was a joy working with you, and if you ever need me to come up for anything I am sure it can be arranged!! take care Love Vix 14 Feb 2004

Dear Myk, I really enjoyed my time with you as always ...Thanks for the hospitality ...Thanks again for a great day Mick 14 Feb 2004

Hiya ... I need to get some more professionel pictures of myself to get started and I love your work! I look forward to hearing from you, Shinie x 11 Feb 2004
Hi Myk, thanks for the info, we really enjoyed the session at the Bakery and the slides have just come back, they are good. We appreciated your help and expertise, the Bakery is an amazing venue ... If you ever have any workshops on Photoshop let us know, but I would need a tutor with a lot of patience and a sense of humour! Regards Pat and Peter 09 Feb 2004
Cheers for Friday - Myk Thanks again for a great day. Sorry to stay so late but I think we got what we set out to cover and more so in Alan's case. I was totally shattered by the end but the images make up for it. See you soon. Pete, 8 Feb 2004
Hi Myk, Thanks for the help last Thursday, I really enjoyed the photoshoot as did Alyona - she has already said we should come back and use your studio facility again. We got some pretty good photographs, I'll email them to you when I have them scanned on, the smoke effect shots were really interesting. Paul 8 Feb 2004
Hi Myk, just a quick thank you for the [WS] course the other day, especially as you were under the weather. It was far more relaxed than I had expected, with all four of us getting on very well. There was an instant noticeable improvement in my picture quality with the digital camera and your studio sets. My pictures actually (for the first time) looked like a professional had taken them! Ged 13 Jan 2004
Hi myk, Hope you are feeling better. Thanks for a great day on Friday most enjoyable as always. A quick question for you, how do I avoid the ring type catchlight in the eye when using the paraflash, it has appeared on about six shots mainly when taking close up shots. Not had this problem before on the three occasions I have used the flash. Is it possibly caused by standing to close to the model? Thanks John 12 Jan 2004
down to 2003
