Michael Bartosek

This is who I am:





I am very keen on experimentation and collaboration and I like to shoot with a variety of cameras including film and digital.  Currently, I am looking to expand my portfolio and would like to do some combination shoots with both 35mm film, medium format film, large format film and digital.  I also enjoy a variety of alternative film processing techniques including cross-processing, redscale and using coffee to develop prints.  Admittedly, I am much more comfortable with natural light, but if you'll work with me, we can figure this flash thing out together.

My current interests include:

1. Urban/industrial settings involving motion - cinematic type photography.  I have a lot of ideas in this realm and I really could use an edgy attitude to pull off what I want.

2. Vintage camera b&w outdoor nude/implied nude photography - concentrating on form, muscle tone, and the relation of the model to the environment.  Male and female modes welcomed.

I look forward to working with a variety of models and helping them achieve the look and style they want for their portfolios.  Personality wise, I'm about as relaxed as they come and I'm all about hitting a creative zone and and having fun.
