Michael studied fine art photography at Miami Dade Community College in Miami, FL and commercial photography at Ray College of Design in Chicago, IL.
He started his photography career shooting fashion and products for Avanti Press, a company that created catalogs for numerous department stores throughout the U.S. His photography work with celebrities like Gene Simmons; actors such as Maria Conchita Alonso, Steven Bauer, Trevor Donovan; directors like Matthew Jacobs; politicians such as Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa; authors, film and commercial productions have given him a great opportunity to perfect his headshot technique.
In Los Angeles, he is continually referred to as the ideal choice for new arrivals to Hollywood searching for the perfect headshot. He is now expanding his work to the San Diego area.
