(UK) and Toronto (Canada) and Skopje (North Macedonia). Michael has
gone on to receive various awards and distinctions from France, USA,
Greece, Serbia and Romania, Bangladesh and Hong Kong. His work can be
described as either documentary or artistic deciding which style to
use depending upon the end-use of the image.
This is a selection of various projects from birds to buildings. All started off as photographs before I 'got creative'.
I captured the initial image in Villasimius in Sardegna.
I captured the original image in Huntington Beach in California, USA. Unfortunately they've since closed.
This was one of a series from a dance festival I was covering in Obervaart in Austria. The image seemed to demand the treatment.
I was not aiming for this image - I was rushing for a bus when I heard the noise over-head. I grabbed my bridging camera from my bag and snapped a few options then got back to running for an inter-city bus that I just made. It's only when I got to my computer and uploaded the image that I gave it the 'feel'
