Short Bio
Mike Langford has spent the last thirty years working as an international commercial and travel photographer with over twenty books bearing his name and many others as contributor. Throughout that time he has been a much sought after International Awards Judge and lecturer. He now brings all this knowledge into the Queenstown Centre for Creative Photography workshops.
Mike's photographic approach is one of research and an understanding of the requirements needed to successfully communicate an idea. As a result of this attitude he tends to 'make' images rather than take them. "Visual communication and telling stories with images is what I love to do, so that's what I do best."
Mike is a great teacher who is prepared to share all his knowledge to anyone who is genuinely interested in learning.
Mike's commercial site shows his commercial work and current award images.
