MICHAEL MULLER

"I try to capture the energy of a person who is being true to themselves. This I believe is the essence of a photograph."-Michael Muller  

Raised in Northern California by Thomas and Janiece Muller, Michael spent much of his youth traveling to more than fourty-five different countries due to his family’s move to Saudi Arabia where his father over saw the building of Jubail. It was here that he was first inspired to pick up a camera after he saw the joy that his father derived from taking pictures.

After returning back to the United States; Michael at the age of fifteen began photographing the sport of snowboarding. Within a year, he saw his first photographs published.

With little documented photographic experience, he was accepted into the Otis Parsons School of Design with advanced placement. After one short semester he found himself an art school dropout.

Michael then embarked on a journey of self-education. By the time he was twenty-two, running on talent alone, he began photographing some of the most prestigious names in the entertainment and fashion industry.

His work has graced the covers and pages of magazines including: Glamour, Elle, Rolling Stone, Harper's Bazaar, Detour, Spin, Flaunt, , The New Yorker, Sky, Marie Claire, Premiere, Espn, Glamour, Esquire, Interview and Time Magazine.

Michael has worked on campaigns for SPEEDO, NIKE, AIRWALK, DITA EYEWEAR, DODGE, FOUR SEASONS, and CINGULAR.  He also just finished shooting for the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and Jerry Lee Lewis new Album’s. Michael also just completed work on SPIDERMAN 3, FANTASTIC 4, HEROS, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS as well as many other film and television projects.

After more than a decade and a half of living, traveling, and working in Los Angeles, New York, and Paris, at the age of thirty six, Michael once again calls Los Angeles his home. Michael is married with a daughter.

Michael's unique; signature style speaks for itself. His passion for the art and commerce of photography can easily be felt by simply looking at his pictures. "When people view my work, I simply want to evoke emotion."- M. Muller
