Michael was born in Coventry and raised in the village of Brinklow, Warwickshire, England. Since emigrating, he has lived in Canada for over forty years, most of this time being spent with his family in the Junction area of Toronto.
In 2014 Michael moved to Bloomfield in Prince Edward County Ontario.
Michael is drawn to the energy of moments that, through his camera, can tell a story, or move a person in some way.
