As a celebrity photographer he is best known for his moody black and white portraits, often elaborately staged and lit to perfection. He says he’s more interested in “creating images than capturing moments,” and with his photography he looks to uncover something about a person that we haven’t seen before – not easy when you are working with some of the most familiar faces on the planet.
Michael has spent years perfecting his signature lighting technique, and in addition to his work for clients, and as an authority on studio and location lighting, he began teaching his process to photographers all over the world, as well as publishing a book on the subject. He has won awards for his advertising and editorial portraiture for a large and impressive diverse group of clients. Recently, Michael has moved into publishing books and creating films around his photography projects, beginning with his recent publication of “Naked Ambition”, his coffee-table book on the porn industry, and “Naked Ambition: An R-Rated Look at an X-Rated Industry, the movie.”
