Mike French trained as an Architect at Plymouth University before shifting his focus to graphic design in 2011. He has worked commercially with a variety of clients, but documentary photography has remained a constant device for exploration.

Phenomenology and the interactions we experience in the space surrounding us are major components in Mike’s photography. There are strong links to sustainability and social documentary in much of his projects.

This exploration of how we appropriate our surroundings led being hosted on podcasts and published in Devon Life, Outdoor Fitness Magazine, Photography News & Bristol 24/7.

Mike has also been shortlisted for the IPE 166 RPS award, reFocus B&W 2024 award and won a RIBA award.
