Michael’s photography is like frozen light.    A photograph presents a single split-second moment in time. In that frozen moment, when all the elements are working, powerful subject matter, good composition, and most importantly, uncommon light, it has the ability to reach deep in the psyche of the viewer and evoke a strong emotional response. When the light is right and a wonderful subject presents itself, time seems to stand still.

She is inspired by the transience of nature: its steadfast, unpredictable strength and beauty.  The ocean, with its ever-changing moods, stormy grace, and constant ebb and flow, is her favorite muse.
