About
As the address suggests, I’m Mike Brits and I do lots of things that do their best to be beautiful and functional.
I was born in South Africa, but now reside in Liverpool in the UK. I am a published photographer, designer, website creator and general creative thinker.
My photography has a distinctive style with good principles at its core. I shoot using professional equipment including a full frame camera, portable lighting as well as a full studio setup.
I have a degree in Multimedia (BIS Multimedia) from the University of Pretoria, South Africa as well as some other small qualifications. I am proficient in Photoshop, Flash, After Effects and have knowledge in ActionScript 3.0, HTML, CSS, php and SQL.
When I am not staring into my computer screen making things, or looking through a view finder, I like to read people’s minds, find delicious food, play guitar, do the occasional comedy gig (everyone’s a comedian right?), read books and watch loads of movies.
Please feel free to get into contact with me and book a project!
Testimonials
Mike Brits was great to work with because he listens to the artists ideas, and helps bring that idea to life. It’s not just a “pay me and I’ll shoot” situation. He isn’t scared to tell you what he really thinks and make suggestions/criticisms to improve the final product. With my band “Asskicking Slaptones” Mike was able to take the idea straight out of my head and slap it onto a piece of paper.

Working with Mike was a brilliant experience for Soul in One! Accommodating a large band is bad enough, but with 9 big personalities all in one room, we think Mike did an awesome job. We were so happy with the outcome of our photoshoot and feel the essence of the band was really captured with the shots that Mike created and shot. All in all, we’ll definitely be coming back for more!

The Hummingbirds first started to work with Mike in August 2011 and instantly hit it off together. Since then he has been a great addition to the band almost like a 6th member, working with us closely on all design/photo work as well as website and online presence (even recorded on our new EP!). Mike is a vital member to the team and we have had the pleasure of working with him for over 6 months now.

Mike Brits was fun to work with from the start. Right from your first meeting were he’ll blow you away with his imaginative ideas, to the shoot where he’ll impress you with his control of lighting and composition. If you are looking for a photographer who’ll take some chances and try to give your pictures a unique touch, Mike could certainly be your guy!

Above everything Mike Brits is professional! He was easy to chat to about ideas and the designs he came up with were exactly what we needed. I love what he created and the response has been incredible. Happy times!
