About Michael

I have been a professional photographer for 35+ years and have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Photography. I owned a photography studio for 25 years where I photographed aspiring actors and models for their portfolios. I have been using Photoshop to digitally retouch photographs for 15 years.

My passion has always been photographing people. I have always been able to build a rapport with my subjects and they have commented that I make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I like to discuss the shot ahead of time to make sure we all know what we want to achieve.

I have also photographed products, architecture and interiors.

In the past I have worked as a freelance graphic designer: I worked on advertising and marketing material including brochures, posters, magazine layouts and catalogs and optimization of images for use on websites, social media, etc.

I am proficient with the Adobe Creative Suite on a Mac platform. Including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
