Let’s work together and create unforgettable images!
A Photo Shoot with me is an elevating, collaborative journey of artistic creation. Let me explain why...
Expertise in Lighting and Composition: As a professional photographer, I have a deep understanding of how lighting and composition affect the outcome of a photograph. I know how to manipulate light to flatter my subjects and use composition techniques to create dynamic and engaging images. This expertise ensures that my clients look their best and that the photos tell a compelling story.
High-Quality Equipment and Techniques: I have access to professional-grade cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment, as well as the knowledge of how to use them to their fullest potential. This results in high-resolution, sharp images with accurate colors and beautiful detail that cannot be matched by a cell phone or amateur equipment.
Post-Processing Skills: A really big part of my photo aesthetic and what makes my images look the way they do is the skillfully meticulous work I put into the post processing (or should I say, retouching) of all my images. From removing and correcting imperfections to stylistic edits that elevate the final image to another level. This level of retouching ensures that my clients receive polished, magazine quality photos.
Creative Vision and Personal Style: My eye, like every photographer, is very unique. I believe it’s my creative vision and style that sets me a part from many other photographers. People hire me not just for my ability to take pictures, but formy artistry and creativity in bringing their visions to life, or suggesting concepts they hadn't even considered. Take a trip through my portfolio and you’ll begin to see my very distinct style that will ultimately set your photos apart from any one else you know.
Who Am I?
I’m Michael--a portrait, fashion, and commercial photographer. From celebrities, fashion models, and business professionals to families portraits, birthday shoots, and soon to be moms and brides, I really love taking photos of people. But I also love just being creative and capturing beautiful images of art.
My artistic journey began when I was just a kid, sketching portraits and capturing images from my imagination with pencils, markers and paint. By the time I was 12, I had already began displaying and selling my artwork in galleries. It wasn’t until I took a photography course in college while pursuing my passion for writing as a magazine journalism major, that my gift for photography was revealed.
The most amazing experience as an artist is being able to see an image in my mind, pick up my camera and turn that vision into a tangible reality. I get to work with amazing people, and with each person I shoot, and each project I undertake, I walk away with a new, memorable experience, and a smile on my client's faces. Every shoot is different and each has its own set of challenges and fun. Photography is about capturing moments, whether fleeting or still, that ultimately last forever, and to me, a photograph is about as true and real as the reality we live in every day.
