| People. Places. People in places. Since I was eight years old I have loved to travel, seeing places through the viewfinder of my camera. It’s easy to create an image of a place you haven’t seen before, the excitement can carry you along. I always try to go a little deeper, to capture something of the essence or soul of the place. Details, atmosphere, mood.
This almost always involves photographing the people I encounter, which is why I so enjoy making portraits. A way to connect, to gain some real insight into a person, to share an experience. Brief does not have to mean shallow. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes quite difficult, but the challenge of making a memorable image from the encounter is what I love about my work. That enthusiasm also drives my assignments. Being able to get something genuine and real from talent, whether cast from people on the street or professional models, is what I bring to the collaboration table of a production shoot. That’s it. I love to shoot all subjects. I love to shoot on location. I love to shoot in the studio. I love to shoot. | | Contact Me Michael Goldman 177 Hudson Street 2nd Floor New York, NY 10013 Tel.
