About

Michael prides himself on strong collaboration. His experience across genres helps define powerful visual choices and structure, supporting the directors he works with by helping to elevate the process through his creative intensity. Michael’s ability to reveal the subtleties of character through light, shadow, colour, and the juxtaposition of subjects within the frame has been evidenced in films such as Damn it, Mamet! (Best Cinematography, Foster’s Film Fest), Take Me To The River (Official Selection, Sundance Film Festival), Four in the Morning (Official Selection, Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival), and Reservations (Best Short Film Winner, Omaha Film Festival). Having lensed projects for brands such as Bridgestone, Daimler, Methodist Health Systems, research non-profit RTI International, the FBI, and the National Institute of Justice, Michael has been able to translate his love of narrative film work for the commercial world.
