I’m Michael but most people call me Mike.  I am an art and adventure photographer living in Orange County California. My  focus is capturing authentic stories about the people I meet and the places I visit through film.   

I began down this path in college developing black and white film in a dorm room “dark” room.  In the years since my subjects and equipment have changed but my love of authenticity remains.   

Beyond photography my interests include rock climbing and scuba diving.  My escapades and the adventures of those I meet are my inspiration.
