About

Michael Bartley has been interested and involved in creative efforts his entire life. Photography has been his main creative passion for the last 15 years. His photographs are unique and dramatic works of art. His limited edition images will hold your interest over time.

"I love the idea that (unlike a painting or a drawing) I don't create a photographic image from scratch. Instead, I capture my images as frozen moments in time. I am always looking for that great image or scene wherever I go. Fortunately, another passion of mine is travel, which affords me many great opportunities to capture my surroundings in a creative way."

"To me, the best image is one that has all the traditional qualities such as composition, lighting and color, as well as a measure of drama, emotion and storyline. I strive to create images that connect and remain interesting over time."

"I never use software to alter my images. They remain just as I remember them and just as I saw them through my camera lens."
