Hello! My name is Michael and I am a food, brand, portrait and lifestyle photographer and director based in Boston, Massachusetts. Originally from California, I studied Art History at UC Santa Cruz (go Slugs!) and Film at San Francisco State University. I moved to New York City in 2000 where I fell a little out of love with music photography and fell in love with food photography. Along the way I got to work with legends like Albert Watson and Mary Ellen Mark and pal around town with all of Irving Penn’s assistants.

In addition to being a freelance photographer and director, I am the Chief Photographer and Creative Director of Edible Boston magazine. I also contribute to magazines such as Food&Wine, New York Times Magazine, Whole Foods Magazine, Down East, and Yankee Magazine.

My recent work on cookbooks include Our American Dream for Sam Adams and The Garlic Companion for Storey Publishing.
