Update: 18 June 2023

Best way to reach me is via email: [email protected] 

Summer 2023:

- Horror themes, especially those involving outdoor locations - e.g. deep woods, rocky terrain, bogs, swamps, etc. - all those places where spirits, monsters & spooky creatures reside. 

- More elegant bound themes

- Pinup & film noir damsel themes.

- Occasional quicksand themes  (I am one of the top 3 quicksand photographers in the world)

I am a professional photographer, who aims to create unique, sometimes disturbing and "on-the-edge" styled images.  This is my "darker side" portfolio - for my "lighter side", I also do fashion, art nude, pinups, etc., but that material is not showcased here. 

If you want to work with me, please email me directly, as I am not on MM much these days: [email protected]

My goals are three-fold:

1. To make the viewer go "OH! That looks so real" -- knowing full well that everything here is/was staged;

2. To capture realistic expressions - fear, worry, despair, even pain - which is why I particularly enjoyed working with models who are also actresses;

3. To have campy fun!  Some of my work was meant to be truly melodramatic, like an old 1950s horror movie.

These days, I am primarily focused on creative, dark and elegant photographic themes, doing projects that really inspire me (or inspire you, but also interest me).  For examples, look at my various Outdoor Elegant Bound Projects which combines bondage themes with fashion/glamour looks, settings and poses.  That said, I am also doing more horror and outdoor damsel in distress themes, too.

If you have an idea you'd like to shoot, please contact me and we'll see what can be done to "make it real."

If you want to try out horror, damsel in distress and fetish work, feel free to contact me.  I have dozens (and dozens!) of models who can vouch for my professionalism and experience. 

In addition, I do a lot of freelance/trade work for other producers - so, if you need content, let's chat.

Friend Requests: I only approve Friend Requests if we have worked together.  So, all my "friends" are actually models who have shot with me in the past. 

Travel - None at the moment, although I travel throughout New England regularly.

I spend more time on twitter and deviantart than MM.  So, if you send me a message here, best to email me at [email protected] to let me know, or leave a tweet (@michaelL_photo).  Thanks.

The following models have done damsel/horror shoots with me.  For a more complete list of the models, MUAs, etc., that I've had the pleasure of working with, please see my main profile.
