Michael brings a broad and diverse range of creative, technical, and outdoor skills to his commercial work. He has a vast working knowledge of the West's and North's geography, weather patterns, and outdoor culture to the degree one would expect from a location scout. He is perfectly comfortable in uncomfortable environments and in dealing with harsh conditions. He is a team player and collaborator but is perfectly at home working unsupervised with a simple creative brief. Passionate about the outdoor experience, Michael brings a sense of authenticity often from a participants' point of view to his adventure, fitness and lifestyle imagery.
Michael's "studio" is the great outdoors. One of his specialties is seamlessly blending artificial and natural lighting. He thrives on getting portable, studio quality lighting into remote and beautiful locations. Simply put, he creates imagery that makes the viewer want to "be there" or "do that."
The crisp, vivid colors and simplicity in his imagery are part of why Digital Photo Pro magazine named Michael as the "Master of Outdoor Lifestyle" Photographer.
