About

Hi! I’m Mike—a software engineer by trade, a musician at heart, and a photographer driven by the art of being present. What I love most about photography is how it demands you live in the moment: capturing a fraction of a second when everything comes together just right. There’s something magical about that precise instant—where focus, intuition, and openness guide you to freeze a memory forever.

I moved to Austin for my love of music (I’m a guitarist), and found a city that nurtures creativity in every corner. Beyond coding and making music, I’m equally passionate about cycling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and yoga. On calmer days, you’ll find me reading, playing chess or cards, and enjoying good conversation. I’m also drawn to the water—whether it’s a peaceful lake or an open ocean, there’s a calming energy that I can’t resist.

Through photography, I aim to reflect the energy, spontaneity, and emotion of life’s big and small moments. I believe a great photo doesn’t just record what you see—it invites you to feel what you felt at that precise point in time. If you’re looking for someone who balances creativity, technical expertise, and a genuine love for the present moment, I’d be thrilled to work with you.
