Bio
Valeria Reynoso
Michael and I studied software engineering together at App Academy. He is a pleasure to work with and goes out of his way to help others. What has really impressed me about him is his ability to understand concepts and be able to explain them to others. His patience, creativity and sense of humor have made him stand out. He would be a great addition to any company or team.

Michael is a detail-oriented natural at photography. The minute I saw his work, I hired him. Interesting story, in that I was getting some supplies at the camera department at Walmart and noticed Michael reviewing some prints he had processed there. As he was going through them, I couldn't help but notice how incredible the work was. I asked him where he got the images and he replied, "I shot'em". He then went on to tell me he just picked up a camera and started shooting for his Columbus High Senior Project. Columbus High School is a very prestigious college prep school in Georgia and my daughter just happened to be attending as well. I was so blown away by his talent, that I encouraged him to try shooting professionally and offered to hire him as an intern at my freelance business. He was quickly learning the in's and out's of the industry and has now grown into a fantastic shooter. I would highly recommend Michael for any assignment as he can bring an element of surprise to any image. He has a steady stream of portrait customers on campus as well. His college work is taking him to new places with photography and I'm sure this young lad will be at the top of the heap very soon.
