Michael’s photography work spans back to 1991. He was so successful with his earlier images that he took out photography awards, then began teaching photography at TAFE shortly afterwards...and still does this to this very day! He runs personal photography workshops from Dayboro and has been a regular instructor at Clifton Art Workshops in Clifton, The Lamington Light Festival at O’Reilly’s Guesthouse and guest speaker and judge at The Queensland Camera Group in Bardon. His work has appeared on television, in magazines and books here in Australia as well as oversees.

Although Michael shoots in a digital format and is capable of manipulating images, he prefers to take a purest approach to photography, believing that the study of light and shape takes precedence over computer work. His passion is photographing places and people of interest and significant meaning, so on the reverse side of each of his images he also includes details of why he photographed the scene and where the picture was taken.

When Michael is not out teaching, travelling and photographing the world around us, he likes to write and perform in musical theatre. His vocal talents have often been heard in shows by Dayboro's own amateur theatre group The Dayboro Players as well as the Dayboro Combined Churches Choir.
