Michael grew up in upstate New York as a strong willed and artistic kid. He was introduced to the wilderness before he could walk. His father gave him his first manual camera at the age of 14, and he shot everything he could. Throughout schooling his main focus was basketball and he received an athletic scholarship. Torn between his love for the arts and basketball. When he finished school he put his focus on photography. With his passion for the wilderness and nature photography he found himself in Yosemite National Park. Inspired by the sheer glacial polished granite cliffs, he began to explore and photograph all of it's beauty. After five years of exploring and photographing Yosemite, his emotional connection to his subject matter was obvious in his landscape imagery. Still driven by athletic challenges, Michael began mountain climbing in the Sierra Mountain Range, including hundreds of ascents in Yosemite. Now immersed in the climbing subculture, he found a new passion in capturing people at peak moments. His work soon appeared in rock climbing magazines, outdoor gear and apparel catalogs. His next step was moving to San Diego photographing for True Photography Weddings the last 7 years. He incorporates his landscape photography skills into his wedding photography, fusing powerful emotion with dramatic backgrounds. Michael's work shines, graphic and dramatic, with eye catching stylization.
