Extensive international travel over the past 10-plus years has afforded Michael one-of-a-kind moments when the uniqueness of a place and the right time of day align to present themselves to a watchful eye. At the same time a good portion of his work centers around architecture (mostly black and white), using geometry and structure, light and shadow, long exposure, darkening filters and multipoint perspective to compel the viewer to examine iconic structures as majestic elements of a culture.
In 2021 he introduced a new twist to photography, 3D photo sculpture, where dimensionality is given to an architectural image by layering segments atop each other. As a largely self-taught artist, his unique perspective is apparent to the viewer. As a photographer he is the counterpart to the subject. When both are in sync, the art reveals itself.
And when you see, when you spend time looking, re-looking, scouting, waiting, surveilling and examining, that’s when you start feeling. And feeling is interpreting too.
Some of the images reflect my feelings at the scene. Less about accuracy, more about the impression I had.
The black and white images start by removing the distraction of color and ask you to focus on the shape, volume, light, shadow, delicateness and grandeur of the subject.
The 3-D photo sculptures are the end result of extracting an element from a building or bridge and reimagining an entirely different entity —sometimes keeping the original features and sometimes extrapolating on those features and plowing new ground.
