I know….I know…Here I go again, apologizing for not blogging, and barely keeping an online presence for over a year, however I think a lot of professional business owners were keeping their things down to a crawl, and some just went out of business. I fortunately don’t have the option of shutting down completely, quitting, etc., and if I did, I still wouldn’t because I LOVE photography too much, and my people that I work with.

I’m not a doctor of medicine that specializes in viruses and diseases, a formal scientist, nor will I ever claim to be one. I’m a photographer, and that’s what I’m here to talk about, and that’s what I’ll always focus on. All the other stuff is a distraction from what I want to achieve, and the goals that my clients and I want to achieve. You know…I just hit on something, and it’s overlooked from people a lot of times….GOALS! I give my clients goals, just like they give me. Most times their goal is to achieve a certain weight, or look prior to the shoot, to have a great shoot, and for some it’s to be published in a magazine. I don’t have control over being published, however I’m always going to do my absolute best to make sure we give it our best shot (pun intended).

Some of you have been wondering what I’ve been up to…well…I’ve been doing A LOT of local commercial photography for different industries here in Germany. I’ve also just been on some strict lockdown quarantines by the German government, and I got vaccinated so that way I can travel all around Europe. I’ve been doing a lot of traveling and working with various pro athletes for commercial shoots as well. When I was on lockdown, I internalized myself with my art. I watched a lot of different tutorials on photography, editing, and lighting techniques, because being a photographer is a never ending learning process. I even had a lot of great laughs catching old episodes of Key and Peele. Laughter is great for the soul and when things seem to be dark out there, a good laugh is what I needed; hell, it’s what we all need.

For those of you thinking about coming to Europe, please do so and let’s talk and do something together. I don’t care what country you’re from, all we need is communication and a desire to make something great. Europe’s a great place to do photography in because there’s a plethora of great places to go to for photo shoots. I can get there with the greatest of ease. Oh…did I forget to mention that I’ll be back in the United States in July? I’ll be there for one month to visit in Oregon, Colorado and Georgia. If you desire to do a photo shoot then, please contact me immediately so we can coordinate properly.

Again, I apologize for the long break in blogging, however I’m praying that you all understand. I’m here for your fitness photography needs, and more.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Mike
