Bio
Raised in the Skagit Valley, Washington, Michael earned a B.A. in Psychology and Art from Western Washington University and an M.A. in Visual Communication from Ohio University. He moved to New York and began working as a freelance photographer in 2006.
He is currently working on a project in China using Kodak's new Portra 400NC and Portra 800 films. "It has been several years since shooting film on a regular basis. The technology has improved significantly and these new color negative films have excellent skin tone color and contrast in all types of conditions. I am especially impressed with their resolution in low light and evening environments."
Michael has worked on assignment for Fortune, The Atlantic, ESPN The Magazine, Financial Times, GEO France, Conde Nast Portfolio, Time, National Geographic Magazine, The Economist, Monocle, Smithsonian, Ventiquattro, The Nature Conservancy and The New York Times.
