My name is Michael Manuel, and my journey behind the lens began at the age of 12, fueled by an unrelenting passion for capturing moments in time. Over the past two years, photography has evolved from a side hustle, specializing in portraits for graduations, couples, and individuals, into a budding career aspiration. My ambition is to expand into travel photography, exploring the world through my lens while continuing to hone my craft. Through my work, I aim to freeze fleeting emotions and transform ordinary scenes into captivating visual stories.

I have been a photographer for my entire life, since I could walk I had a camera in my hand. In 2015 I bought my first sale and knew this is what I would be doing for the rest of my life. In 2019 I decided to make it official and make a photography business out of the thing I love the most! I mostly photograph individual portraits and couples. However, I have been trying to push into the world of engagements, weddings, and events! I also have a deep love for sports photography and would love to do media sports days! Which I have experience in doing so I’m excited to dive deeper into sports.

I am a Home Inspector and recently I discovered that home inspectors are using Drones to inspect the roof of a dwelling, which is much safer than climbing on the roof. I recently received my FAA part 107 remote pilot certification to fly drones, and in the process of getting my part 107 certification, I learned that drones are also used for more than roof inspections. Drones can also be used to take aerial photos and videos.

ARTIST STATEMENT I see photography as a gift - not something taken, but something offered for a moment. Moments arrive quietly and without asking — a shift of light, a fleeting expression, a structure holding its last breath. My work is about being present for those brief blooms before they fade.
