Hey,

I'm Michael

First and foremost, I’m a husband and father to two wonderful boys. I’ve been a professional photographer for 19 years, but my love for photography stretches back even further. It’s not just a profession for me; it’s a passion, and my clients recognize and appreciate that dedication. I truly care about delivering outstanding work.

Born and raised in France, I’ve always had a deep fascination with photography—a passion that seems to run in the family, as I grew up surrounded by artists, including a pastel artist and a sculptor. Capturing light has always mesmerized me. There’s a timeless, magical quality in photography—the ability to freeze a moment and reveal what others might have missed—that’s drawn me in from the very beginning.

While I earned a degree in Industrial Science and Technology, my heart led me to Florida where I met my wife and was able to pursue my true passion: photography. Over the past 19 years, I’ve focused on portraiture, landscapes, and product photography, and it has been an incredibly rewarding journey.

My work has been featured in various publications such as Good Housekeeping, Orlando Homes + Garden, and Land and Homes, among others. I also specialize in real estate photography, primarily along the Space Coast, collaborating with VHT, the leading visual marketing service for the real estate industry.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m outdoors with my family, exploring the world’s beauty. I’m also an astronomy enthusiast, and whenever the skies are clear, you’ll find me capturing the mysteries of the night sky, revealing its wonders after hours of exposure.
