about
Hello.
My name is Michael. Thanks for checking out my work and reading my thoughts….
I am a freelance photographer, filmmaker, music producer/engineer, and creative consultant.
Born in Chicago and now living on the West Coast in magical Topanga CA, I’m grateful for my midwestern roots and sunny future.
Though most of my work is now based in Southern California, I’m very open to freelancing anywhere there are good people to meet and compelling stories to tell.
When I’m not “working”/creating, I’m usually hiking, camping, meditating, and missing a Malamute friend in Chicago. I am often listening to mood or location based playlists on repeat but have a wide range of tastes, especially when it comes to work projects; I don’t have to love each thing as it begins to evolve, I just need it to reach its full potential…
Sometimes that requires that I’m very involved in the cultivation process, and others it just means staying out of the way and providing the garden space for an artist to help themself grow.
