About Me

Retired now, taught for 15 years at Tri Community adult education in Covina. Time to start enjoying new and wonderful outdoor photography instead of being stuck in studio all the time. Nature, cars, buildings all of interest with the right models. Let's get me started!

"As a professional model, I immediately feel when a photographer sees a person, not just a frame. Working with Michael in Los Angeles was just like that. A minimum of words means a maximum of precise directions, a great sense of light and a confident visual style. The shooting was easy and very productive, and the shots turned out to be lively, bold and with character, a rare combination. Stuff that you want to come back to and that really works for the portfolio." Read less

"It was fun to shoot with Michael and his friends. Michael is a very friendly person and he has a beautiful home, I loved the pool and his cars. He came to pick me up and drove me back despite of the distance. I enjoyed our discussions and now look forward to see the images. Recommended!" Read less

"He helped organise a group shoot at his place in the area where Disneyland is & thankful he named who was coming too. There was a pool with some props & fancy cars to be able to pose with. I was a little late due to the traffic but they were ok with starting a bit later. I liked that I was able to do some underwater shots & look forward to seeing how they turned out. Thanks, kind regards, all the best." Read less

"Getting to shoot and create with Mike and fellow photographers at his arranged group shoot was an absolute blast. Mike is a total pro, friendly and communicative. Very much looking forward to the next shoot!" Read less

"He knew exactly what he was doing! Was very patient and made sure I was comfortable! I was very relaxed with him! I'm so excited to shoot with him again!" Read less

"I have so many good things to say about Michael; he is seriously amazing. His group shoots are one of the few that I will even attend anymore, because he is the only host I know that actually pays his models just for showing up and modeling for the group. This shows me that he values my time as a model, and it also creates a non-competitive atmosphere for all the models (we aren't competing for 1-on-1's just to get paid), so in turn we are all positive, happy, and have a great time. This also results in the photographers getting great photos, which makes everyone all-around happy. He is also respectful, laid-back, genuine, and such a pleasure to work with. If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with him or attend one of his group shoots, take it!" Read less
