Discover the artist, the vision, and the passion
Hello, I'm Michael, the creative force behind SHOTS by MichGotBags. With over a decade of experience in visual storytelling, I've dedicated my life to capturing the ephemeral moments that define our human experience.
My journey began in the bustling streets of New York City, where I first discovered the power of a single frame to convey emotion, narrative, and beauty. Since then, I've traveled across continents, documenting love stories, cultural milestones, and the quiet poetry of everyday life.
I believe that photography is more than just pressing a shutter button—it's about creating a connection between the subject and the viewer, crafting a visual language that speaks directly to the soul.
In a world saturated with images, I strive to create work that stands apart through authenticity and artistic vision. My approach combines technical excellence with emotional intelligence, resulting in imagery that feels both cinematic and intimate.
I see my role as a visual storyteller—not just documenting moments, but elevating them into art. Every photograph is an opportunity to reveal beauty in unexpected places and to celebrate the extraordinary within the ordinary.
I capture genuine emotions and unguarded moments that reflect the true essence of my subjects.
Every image is crafted with the precision and artistry of film, creating timeless visual narratives.
I work closely with my clients to understand their vision and bring their stories to life.
From lighting to composition, every element is carefully considered to create impactful imagery.
