MIKI Studios
Mick and Ash, the dynamic duo behind MIKI Photography, have taken their partnership to the next level by establishing MIKI Studios, a London-based wedding photography and videography studio. As part of this evolution, Mick has transitioned from photography to videography, allowing Ash to assume the lead photographer role. In his short time as a wedding videographer, Mick has already made a significant impact, securing a spot in the finals for European Wedding Videographer of the year (Way Up North). With awards season approaching, we’re confident that he’ll take home the top prize. This change means that MIKI Studios can now offer a seamless experience for couples, combining both photo and film services under one roof. We’re thrilled to see what creative masterpieces Ash and Mick will produce together.
2 of Harps
As the world grapples with the challenges of isolation and uncertainty, two young musicians, Karina (19) and Adel (23), have taken to their balcony to spread some joy through song. For the foreseeable future, they will be singing live at 3 PM daily, sharing their music with a global audience.
The response has been overwhelming, with people from all corners of the world reaching out to share in the experience and offer support to those in isolation. The duo’s goal is simple: to boost morale for everyone affected by the pandemic – whether they’re stuck at home, too afraid to venture out, or struggling with anxiety, depression, or panic.
With their musical roots dating back to childhood as part of a harp and vocal duo called 2 of Harps, Karina and Adel are no strangers to the power of music. They’ve seen firsthand how it can bring people together, transcend language barriers, and offer solace in times of need.
Their inspiration came from witnessing the resilience and passion of the Italian people during their own lockdown. Feeling a deep connection to those struggles, they wanted to do something to show that as British people, they care – and what better way than through the universal language of music?
While they may not be able to offer physical aid, the duo has already seen the impact their music is having on mental health and physical well-being. As one commenter so eloquently put it: ‘Your music really is helping with mental health, taking thoughts away from our physical pain.’ This is exactly what Karina and Adel had set out to achieve – a small but meaningful contribution to the global effort to stay positive and support each other through these challenging times.
