More about Michael K....

What do you love about your job?

I get paid to be creative and use my artistry every day to put a little more beauty out into the world in the form of pictures. I'm very grateful to be able to say I love to create, and I create for a living.

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

Every shoot is special and takes a slightly nuanced approach to someone's vision and preferences. I think photography is so much fun and all about the interaction between people. In portraiture, sometimes it's fun to play the client's favorite music. Photography is a celebration of a person, space, landscape, or vehicle in images.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

I had a solo exhibition hosted by Art Thieves in San Francisco, in 2010. And I'm a print-published photographer in an architecture book for the firm SmithGroup.

A fun fact about this photographer

I'm an amateur rock climber and mountaineer with the goal of climbing all the peaks in California over 14000ft. (Summitted two so far.)
