Welcome
Hi, I’m Michael! Born and raised in The Netherlands and currently living in a small city, Montijo, down south of Lisbon, in Portugal.
Portrait photographer, creative soul, and storyteller through the lens.
Originally from the world of technology and commercial leadership, I spent over 14 years helping global businesses grow in the ICT and cloud industries. But long before boardrooms and business plans, I was always creating — sketching, composing music, and capturing moments. Creativity is not just something I do; it’s who I am.
My journey into photography wasn’t sudden — it was a return. A return to a lifelong passion for art, emotion, and human connection. After years of living and working internationally, I moved to Portugal — a country full of light, texture, and soul — the perfect place to blend my technical precision with artistic expression.
Why Portraits?
Because people are endlessly fascinating.
I believe every face tells a story, and my goal is to capture that story with honesty, warmth, and a touch of elegance. Whether it’s a candid smile, a quiet gaze, or a confident pose, I work to create portraits that feel real, timeless, and deeply personal.
My Approach
I combine my creative instincts with a professional, relaxed style. I want my clients to feel comfortable and seen. Whether you're looking for a personal portrait, a family moment, or a professional image that reflects who you are, I’ll guide you every step of the way — with care, clarity, and just enough fun to make it memorable.
Let’s Create Together
Whether you’re in Lisbon, Montijo, or beyond, I’d love to work with you. Feel free to explore my work, and if my style resonates with you, let’s connect.
