Hello! Thank you for reading my bio. Im Michael, 26 years old, Living in Japan. When I was 17 I grabbed my first camera, An old “Pentax Spotmatic” that is still serves me to this day. I believe that in order to take interesting photographs I need to lead an interesting life. And that believe has been taken me to many adventures around the globe. In addition to photography I had (and still having) the opportunity to be involved in projects such as - Healing (Nerve massaging) the locals of Thailand for free, Learning and executing the art of Indigo making and dyeing, Teaching skateboard to the kids of Fukuoka city, Being a “Uekiya” apprentice, and a few more. In the recent year I had the honor of exhibiting my photography in the “Tikotin Museum” in Israel. And before in “Libris Kobako” Gallery in Japan.
