Vancouver-based photographer Michael Ford brings an interest in photographic arts that sprouted in his late teens and blossomed over the past twenty years. Following a diverse career spent in communications, business and the arts, Michael has established a thriving photography business with clients across Canada and in the United States.

A self-taught photographer, Michael is a graduate of Simon Fraser University’s BA program in Communications, where he became familiar with the role of media communications and the power of the image. Using the camera as his tool — as a painter uses a brush or a musician uses the instrument — Michael strives to illuminate and reveal the resonance or truth of a moment, an emotion, a place or a gesture.

Whether photographing weddings, headshots, families, babies, couples, or landscapes, Michael brings an unwavering dedication and commitment to his work, approaching with reverence each and every client or subject. While he prefers the simplicity and pureness of black and white, he also works in colour when the subject or the client demands it.

Shooting on location and in the studio, Michael works directly and actively with clients to determine the best location, approach and package to fit their needs.

Although influenced by many of the masters of photography, Michael brings a unique voice and his own life experience to his work. Let Michael expose your moments by contacting him today.
