Capturing images of strength & sport
Drawing inspiration from the portrayal of Ancient Greek athleticism to Michelangelo's high Italian renaissance sculptures, Michael Alan Photography specializes in the timeless archetype of the human form.

He works with models of all levels, from seasoned professionals to aspiring amateurs, and his images aim to be striking, evocative, and full of energy. Whether he is shooting on location or in the studio, Michael's goal is to create images that inspire and captivate his audience.
Through his work, he hopes to celebrate the power and grace of the male body, and to push the boundaries of traditional portraiture.
