Michael Mason Studios

Every client is unique so it always starts with a conversation. Realizing their vision takes time and an open ear to listen to not only what they’re saying but what they’re not saying. Creating a unique photo and capturing a memory takes energy and an eye to ensure you are always in the right place at the right time. Once the gig is photographed then I work to ensure photos are turned over in an efficient and effective manner. 

Many years of on the job training dealing with every type of situation and finding solutions every time. 

Every client is a unique pricing for their project. 

I’ve always been in love with creating art. I started as a professional actor and turned my eye to the visual world while on many tours. I began my work by just photographing everything I was doing and then I just started to study every day. I love people and I have always been fun to be around and I make others feel incredibly calm and fun in front of my lens. I am in the constant pursuit of love and joy and how I can show that through my work. 

All. 

Everyone from a large corporation to a private in home boudoir to little newborns to large weddings. 

I loved working as an event photographer for John Jay College. I was able to capture the moment when multiple ex-cons received their college diplomas. So many inspiring stories and speeches. I left with a true sense of joy and drive to really work hard towards any goal no matter the obstacles. 

Ask every question you can think of. Then email more you think about afterwards. You aren’t just hiring the quality you’re hiring the person as well. You have to be comfortable and at ease with your photographer. It’s the most important aspect you should look for after quality. 

When, where, who, what is it your trying to capture? Every event has its unique components. It’s really on the photographer to ask about those.
