Michael's practice centres around his abstraction of reality to explore concepts about being human.

By using a hybrid of techniques and utilising skills in multiple disciplines he creates an emotional connection with the viewer by entering into the realm of ambiguity, a place where he believes an intangible beauty resides. Portraying a concept in a visually poetic way and delivering the photographic component as more of an artful process rather than just a record.
