About Mike
I am located in the Vancouver, BC area.
I shoot primarily concerts and promo shoots, though I do enjoy photographing nature and other subjects that happen to wander into my viewfinder like trees, water, buildings, animals and what not.
I shoot mostly independent bands, as that's what I usually end up going to see on my nights out on the town. I like the more intimate and casual atmosphere of the smaller venues. Bigger venue shows are nice too, but all the restrictions and security and access issues take a lot of the fun out of it, plus it's not as neat to be the 10,534th photographer to have shot a particular band as opposed to one of a few or even the first.
While the majority of the bands I shoot tend to be high-energy types of bands, I like all sorts of music, from solo singer-songwriters to an army of little guitars blazing away(you know who you are). I sort of see myself as a documentarian of the Vancouver music scene. Thanks to photographers like Bev Davies, we have visual records of people, events and places in Vancouver that might have otherwise been forgotten and lost in time. I am following in that tradition and trying to build on it.
My nature/landscape photography is primarily of the Sea to Sky corridor and the Greater Vancouver area because those are the places I frequent most often. British Columbia is a pretty incredible place for scenery and I feel fortunate to be smack in the middle of it.
