Michael is from Idaho, one of many lands where the boundaries between photographic genres are blurry at best. Born and raised on the trails of his home state, he's developed a relationship with the outdoors that few have experienced. Currently he is based in Boise where he is studying for his Ph.D.
Photographically, his love for the natural state of things is reflected in his preference for natural lighting and candid shots. He's a firm believer that great photographs stand on their own; they have a way of conveying the who, where, when, what, or why of their subjects without any explanation. His fascination with photography lies in the challenge of producing photos which are both intuitive and emotionally powerful.
