About Us


My name is Michael D'Cruze and I, with a great team, run a photography company based in Northern Ireland.

I was born in Wimbledon, South London and now live in the picturesque village of Moira, Co Down.
My favourite aspect of photography is portraiture.
Whether I am photographing a school full of children, a newborn baby, several generations of a family
or children visiting our Santa Grottos, I love the idea of creating an everlasting memory.

However, in my spare time I enjoy the challenge of night photography.
If someone has spent the time and effort designing lights to enhance a historic or interesting building or place
the least I can do is to try and capture their hard work.

A few examples form the backgrounds to some of the pages on my site.

I've been behind a camera for over 30 years and yet  I'm still learning new things as the digital age progresses.
Who said "you couldn't teach an old dog new tricks"!

My company, MDPICS,  photographs schools, nurseries, families, family occasions,
promotional  and seasonal events.

As a photographer I enjoy working closely with my clients to create memories.
Photography isn't just a job it's a passion.
If you need a photographer to capture your occasion please call me to discuss your requirements.
