“He's a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.”
-Perks of Being A Wallflower About the photographer: Michael Leoncio Born and raised a shy kid in the San Francisco Bay Area, it was easy to appreciate beauty in so many things with all the culture and natural aesthetic growing up in such a beatiful part of the world. But wasn’t until a stint studying the arts in Paris, France where I finally discovered my way to capture the things I appreciated. Photography. What started as a hobby, my relationship with photography grew from a mild appreciation to a necessary form of communication. While in Paris, I discovered I couldn't hack it by drawing or painting the essence of life – but I was on to something by capturing them through the lens. Photography became a passion...and to create an image that could affect one's emotions became my obsession. Fast forward... Based on the very principles I learned in Paris, I have now become an accomplished published photographer based in Florida, who still can't believe he gets paid to do something he truly loves. From being featured at the world renowned Art Basel in Miami, to showing at The Hangar Gallery in the famed Wynwood Art District, to being a featured artist in numerous big ticket art galleries throughout Florida, collaborating at EDC Orlando and Red Bull’s Ten to 10 – while my work has been seen by thousands in some pretty notable places, the thing that I’m most especially proud of is that I have never lost that passion of the shy wallflower kid who saw things, kept quiet about them...and understood.
