ABOUT ME
Hi! I am Michael, a passionate media professional and recent graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communication from The University of Western Australia. With a unique blend of technical expertise and creative vision, I specialise in photography and videography, producing visual content that captures authentic stories and moments. My journey spans continents and cultures, infusing my work with a global perspective and a deep appreciation for inclusivity, community, and creativity. From freelance projects to hands-on experience in multimedia production, my goal is to bring impactful, engaging visuals to life, whether through cinematic storytelling or vibrant photography.
Driven by my curiosity and dedication to honing my craft, I’ve developed a robust skill set that encompasses video production, photography, and digital media. I believe that visual media is a powerful tool to connect, inspire, and educate, and I’m committed to creating content that resonates. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m exploring new places, discovering urban art, or engaging in meaningful conversations with diverse communities.
