MIKE McGEE – SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER

My goal is to achieve stunning fashion images for every client. Many clothing designers or San Francisco Bay Area boutiques may want to have stunning fashion images for their web site or advertising that may look like they were torn out of the pages of Elle or Vogue. Or perhaps you are an aspiring model who needs high quality fashion photography in your lookbook. As a fashion photographer, I enjoy catering each shoot to the needs of each client, where the end results are extraordinary fashion images.

Portrait Photographer: OUTDOORS or IN-STUDIO
Fashion photography is quite diverse, and can be shot either in-studio or outdoors on-location depending upon the theme or concept of the shoot. Each shoot is catered to the needs of each client, and based on our consult, we can achieve the best location for your desired shoot. I enjoy shooting both in-studio fashion photography, and on-location outdoor fashion photography through the combination of natural light and strobes. Concept execution is the key to successful fashion photography, and I enjoy collaborating with clients to get the exact high-quality professional fashion images they desire.

If you are interested in portraits or headshots, I shoot professional portraits and professional headshots both outdoors with natural light and/or strobes, or in my San Francisco Bay Area-based photo studio with a wide variety of backdrops and lighting options for many types of projects. Whether you need fashion photography, portrait photography, yoga or fitness photography, headshot photography, an online dating profile photographer, beauty headshot photography, artistic extreme colored gel hypercolor portraits, product photography, modeling digitals for agencies, or anything in-between, I offer various packages for many budgets. I look forward to hearing from you. Let’s shoot!

Regardless of if you’ve never stepped in front of a camera or you’re an established model, Mike is the perfect photographer to go to! His work is incredible and he quite obviously brings a lot to the table. After years of modeling, you can sometimes find yourself falling into a place where you’re not sure what original ideas could be left for a photo shoot– Mike, however, is a genius in every way and will find a way for you to get the most out of your shoot. His photos are stunning, and he has this amazing attention to detail that will leave you with nothing short of greatness in the final pictures. On top of that, he is an amazing guy!

I have had the opportunity to work with Mike on multiple occasions, and he is one of the best photographers I have ever worked with. He is patient, witty, conscience, and kind, and shooting with him is always a pleasure. As other reviews have indicated, Mike is super-responsive to questions and requests, he is incredibly helpful, and he never hesitates to go out of his way. Finally, he is a true artist and produces beautiful, beautiful work. I feel that he has always brought out the best in me. I am thankful to have worked with him and look forward to doing so again in the future.

Mike is an awesome photographer to work with but also all around great person. I’ve been modeling since I was little and he has to be one of my top two favorite photographers I’ve worked with. Very easy going and fun on set yet professional. I know whenever we shoot I’m going to leave with quality shots and a lot of them! He’s taken all my best/most popular pictures I have that I’ve used on my modeling page for Wilhelmina along with personal use for Instagram. 10/10 would recommend him first to get the job done (no matter what it is fashion, lifestyle etc) exceptionally well and have an enjoyable time creating as well! Much love for Mike!

I found Mike McGee on Instagram and we have since completed several successful photo shoots together. His talent shines through the images that he produces and he is an absolute joy to work with. Mike sincerely enjoys photographing people and it shows. Passionate about the fundamental components of light, color and composition, he brings an elevated sense of perception to each project. Not only does Mike carry an abundance of charisma and a strong air of professionalism, he deeply cares about the work that he produces and his clients; often going the extra mile to make magic come to life.

As a model, it can be challenging to find a good fashion/beauty photographer that is respectful and trustworthy. Mike really helped me boost my modeling portfolio and his turn around time on delivery is second to none.He is usually the first photographer I recommend when other models ask me for references because overall he is totally off the charts amazing, skilled, casual, cool, and we always have so much fun!! Make that 10 stars!!
