Michelle speaks: "In the beginning, I worked with portraits and landscapes, depicting true and accurate dimensions and colors. In the 2010, I began experimenting with different shutter speeds and exposure. Both sides of the lens, in front and behind, suddenly felt connected. I began to see how I could shape and manipulate the world before me through my lens. "Now I have a new passion in life and the creative outlet, for which I’d been searching. My work is a reflection of my inner self and is wholly my own and no other’s."
