About Mike Long

Thank you for taking the time to read this far! I’ve been a photographer and retoucher for over 20 years. My passion is to create art that stimulates the mind and creates emotion. I believe that pin-ups stir the soul and they have been my focus for a number of years. I hope to transfer some of my enthusisam for them to those attending. In the last few years, pin-ups have taken me around the World and on tour across America with the amazing Sandy Puc.
