[quote] “All of us need to be in touch with a mysterious, tantalizing source of inspiration that teases our sense of wonder and goads us on to life’s next adventure.” ― Rob Brezsny[/quote]

[b]Who am I? [/b]

I’m Michael – a beauty, editorial, and fashion photographer [b]searching for a muse[/b].

- I am here to [b]network with industry professionals[/b] and work with talented and creative individuals.

- My work has been published and showcased and I am constantly working on new projects and concepts.

[b]What is my approach? [/b]

[b]I am a storyteller at heart. [/b] Imagery that evokes emotion, captivates the senses, and draws the viewer deeper into the backstory is what I seek to create.

- My focus is gradually moving from beauty and glamour to a more [b]fashion and fashion editorial emphasis[/b], although I still have a passion for the beauty genre. I am highly-invested in creating a diverse portfolio which showcases my unique aesthetic.

- I plan. I storyboard. I pre-visualize my concepts and always have an idea of where I want to take an image. However, I [b]thrive on collaboration[/b] and enjoy a sense of spontaneity on the day of the shoot.

- I always have chocolate on set.

[b]Who do I love to work with? [/b]

I love working with models who are expressive, bring a high level of energy, and enjoy being part of the creative process.

- Good communication, teamwork, and professionalism are vital.

- Makeup artists, hair stylists, and wardrobe professionals are vital to my work and I enjoy working with those who can help me bring my concepts to life and thrill me with a fresh perspective.
