More about Michael H....

What do you love about your job?

Visualizing the story in creative and unforeseen ways is what is exciting for me. Whether you’re building a hospitality campaign, launching a destination story, refreshing your restaurant visuals, or commissioning portrait work, I love to help bring a vision to life.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

Every shoot I do is special in its own way. Whether it's for an independent brand looking to tell a richer, meaningful brand story or a corporation looking to level up their product or service(s) they all have the same goals. I'd like to think I help them visualize and achieve them.

A fun fact about this photographer

I'm a big dog guy. I love them all. I have my own, Parker, but when I on the road I always will stop whatever I'm doing to say hi and get a few scratches in.
