About
Michael specialises in advertising, portrait & editorial photography for clients across the entertainment industry, creating bold, striking imagery that balances narrative with visual impact.
He brings precision, technical skill, creativity and a sense of the dramatic to both his commissioned and personal work: atmospheric lighting; a sense of movement; a keen eye for capturing the story of a show, film or brand.
As comfortable on location as in the studio, Michael’s background means he is skilled at helping actors bring their best performance to the stills medium, whether it’s a five minute shoot between takes on set, or a full day’s ‘modelling’.

London: Michael Wharley
As a former actor, Michael has a keen eye for narrative and a flair for the dramatic. His poppy, energetic portraits combine stunning lighting with wit and story. Plus he possesses an uncanny ability to put even the most famous star at their ease, whether shooting editorial portraits or marketing campaigns.
Recent work has seen Michael shoot Jim Broadbent for 'The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry' (eOne), key art for neurodivergent drama 'A Kind of Spark' (BBC/BYU TV), Charlie Brooker for Netflix on the release of Black Mirror Season 6, Charity Wakefield (The Great) at dawn for Broadleaf Magazine, Rufus Hound and Will Young for new projects, as well as Charlton Athletic footballer Sean Clare.
His project 'Classic Beats on Brixton Streets' won GOLD at The AOP Awards, and he has recently signed to be represented by Daniela and the team at Park Village.
He has a stunning new portfolio from Delta Design, which he would love to meet and show you in person.

Michael Wharley celebrity & entertainment photographers
Originally from an acting background, Michael has keen eye for story and a flair for the dramatic. His poppy, energetic portraits combine stunning lighting with narrative and humour - and he's adept at directing, be it a Hollywood star for key art or a more normal person for an editorial shoot.
Recent work has taken Michael out on the moors with Emma Mackey in 'Emily' (Warner Brothers), to Arendelle for 'Frozen' (Disney) and to a very much more blushingly-real place with the ladies of BBC Sounds podcast 'Brown Girls Do it Too'.
His project 'Classic Beats on Brixton Streets' won GOLD at The AOP Awards 2022, and his campaign for Unfortunate won the Spotlight Awards Advertising Category.
He also has a stunning new portfolio from Delta Design. He'd love to meet and show you the book in person.
