Michael Thompson

Michael is fascinated by people and how they interact. Photography to Michael is the art of storytelling and that’s what he wants to achieve in his images. He aims to catch the essence of the moment and the essence of the person. He is always trying to capture that special moment when the image tells that person’s story and you get a feel of what makes them tick. When he is not writing about himself in the third person Michael likes to mix with people of all works of life and is happy to discuss any topic over a glass of red. Michael has been described by his peers as an optimist, larrikin and relationship builder.

Michael has completed his studies at the Photographic Studies College in Melbourne resulting in him receiving an Advanced Diploma of Photography and has enjoyed exploring his photographic passion while upgrading his skill set. He now wants to put that passion and upgraded skill set into action.
