Michael Kampmann

He bought his first camera in 1979, but photography took a back seat due to lack of money. In 2010, he decided to take a closer look at photography and discovered his passion for portraiture. He taught himself how to use the camera by studying instruction manuals and looking at sites such as 500px and Instagram.

Michael about himself: "Successful photographers are supposed to be extroverted, communicative people, I've read. Well, I'm the exact opposite, and maybe that's why it took me so long to do my first shoot. It was a gut shot, like several others that followed. But in time, Michael realized the impact of light and shadow. He understood what other photographers were talking about in long sentences, and he skillfully put that knowledge into practice.

Today, his goal is to take at least one picture that will last. A picture that will be passed on and that will stand the test of time, a picture that will be looked at with pleasure and that will bring back memories.
