Photographes Fête à Des Moines

I started out as a photographer with the urge to tell stories and give people new perspectives and ways of seeing the world. Today I am a commercial, editorial, and Architectural photographer based in Des Moines Area, willing to travel to Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota and Nebraska. Combining wilderness guide training with several years in catalog and image production, I shoot for various projects, doing commercial, documentary, and editorial work.

Michael Hill is a Des Moines photographer with a B.A. in Photography from Columbia College Chicago and 20-plus years split between design and shooting. His dad, a lifelong shutterbug, handed him a Nikon F2 in high school, and it stuck. He shoots portraits, sports, events, real estate, product, and food on a Nikon Z8, with strobes when the light won't cooperate. His fine art is represented by Olson-Larsen Galleries in West Des Moines, and his Circular Light series is in their group show In the Abstract, opening July 31, 2026. He shows up on time, works fast, and hands back clean files.
