Michael Heffernan – Lifestyle And Advertising Photographer Based in London

Working worldwide, I collaborate with global brands, creative agencies, and production companies to create commercial photography that connects — capturing authentic moments with a natural, people-first approach. With a focus on personality and place, I deliver campaign-ready imagery that brings ideas to life. I also shoot short-form film and use drone photography where required, adding motion and perspective to complement the stills.
