Michael Michaels Photography & FoodPhotoLibrary

Since about the age of about 12 and probably younger, I have always had a love of food. Always keen to help mum in the kitchen and often preparing full family meals; in fact, not just for family but also friends and relatives. Later, I developed a love for technology and it wasn't long before I got involved in photography. First, it was cine with super 8 and later, stills photography. Initially excited about the technical side of the equipment but soon this transferred to love of the final image as an art form.

It seemed only natural that I should combine my two passions, food and photography which is what I did when I studied photography at Salisbury. A place that brought me up to speed with the technicalities of the camera and gave me an understanding of lighting. They were top London food photographers at the time and I was fortunate enough to spend some time at their studios in London. Of course being a food photographer has moved on a long way since then.
