Sharp, innovative, and unrelenting, Michael operates at the forefront of creativity and business. A multidisciplinary creative, he is renowned for crafting compelling visual and auditory narratives that amplify the presence of elite startup founders, global industry leaders, and cultural tastemakers.

Shooting worldwide on specialty Hasselblad and Leica camera systems, he delivers unparalleled color, light, and emotion in photographs featuring some of the planet’s more recognizable faces.

As the founder of Cobalt Audio, Michael pushes boundaries further.

His large-scale, monochromatic, sculptural paintings, celebrated in the Pasadena Showcase House, are also found hanging in the homes, spaces, and galleries of top curators, celebrities, and interior designers.

For more than 20 years, Michael has been the first call for top magazine editors, design firms, and art legends because of his complex mastery of lighting, photography, design, sound, materials and color theory.

Sharp, fearless, and always ahead of the curve, Michael creates work that doesn’t just stand out—it sets the standard.
