Is your work guaranteed?
Yes! What people like in pet photography is very personal, and subjective: I want you to be happy with the work that I do for you.
If you're not completely satisfied (for any reason) I'll give you a full refund or another pet photo session at no additional charge.

SF Gate Bay List Reviews
From Rachel V:
I had Michael out to my house to photograph my two puppies, 11 month and 5 month old Great Danes. During our photo shoot Michael was very helpful both in providing direction for the best possible shots and providing compliments and feedback of what he felt worked and didn't. Not only is he easy and comfortable to be photographed by but he also is a natural with dogs and a lovely person.
His proofs from our afternoon photo shoot were simply beautiful and I will have a hard time choosing which ones to purchase. I highly recommend Michael to all who want a knowledgable, caring and extremely talented individual to reflect the beauty and personality of their dearest family member(s) on film.
From Kris B:
I highly recommend Michael. Even though he had the challening task of having to work with an easily distracted Golden Retriever and a nervous Chihuahua,
he took some beautiful pictures that really captured their personalities.
Michael was incredibly patient. He picked some great backdrops for our outdoor pictures. He was very responsive when I first e-mailed him and
had my prints ready for me very quickly after I selected my choices.
I have received many compliments on his work and would not hesitate to use him again!

What happens during and after a photo session?
I like pet photography that can capture a mood, show a relationship between you and your pet, or tell a story.
When doing dog photos or animal portraits, I usually spend 2-3 hours with a client and shoot 2 rolls of film (72 images).
After our photo session the film is developed, scanned, and posted to a private web site for your review.
I do all of my own black & white film printing.
After you make your selection it will take approximately 3-4 weeks before you receive the final prints.

Do you do studio or location work?
Both! I do my studio work in Martinez, which is about 30 miles east of San Francisco.
Location shots can be done at your home, yard, park, or any place of your choosing.

What is your background ?
Several years ago I took a class in darkroom printing. I fell in love with the process and the prints that could be created, like magic,
in the developing trays. The darkroom classes led to more classes and training in photographic techniques.
During my training I experimented with photographing landscapes, buildings, nature, and many different subjects. But nothing is as
rewarding
as photographing pets and their human companions.

Do you work with film or digital?
Both. For events I almost always use digital. For private sessions I almost always use film. I like the unique characteristics that are found
with each type of film.
Whether I'm photographing using film, digital, color or black & white, my goal is to take a portrait of your pet that you'll treasure for years to come.
