Making sure it is done right the first time is something that Michael strongly believes in. He knows the limits of image manipulation programs such as photoshop so he works hard to capture the images properly, with the correct lighting, posing, exposure, etc the first time so that no reshoots are necessary. He has studied with people that do retouching for magazines to billboards as well as those who have photographed the Hollywood Elite, world leaders, and royalty as well. He knows how to light, pose, and retouch people so that they can look their best without making them look like someone else.
