About
My goal throughout our session will be to capture your best, most authentic self. I'm a published photographer from New York that specializes in portraiture, fashion, and lifestyle. My style is instructive while also relaxed and in the moment. I shoot both digital and film depending on the project and the desired aesthetic of each client.
Whether you've done a few photoshoots before or this is your first time in front of the camera, I will guide you each step of the way and help you feel comfortable, at ease, and give you direction and guidance when necessary throughout our shoot. I do not rush, and take a lot of pride in my work.
Find me on social media for more examples of my work and have a better feel for how our photoshoot will flow @michaeljuliusphotos

Michael was such a pleasure to work with! He's an expertise in the field and knows how to connect with the subject (me) while shooting. Michael made the shoot run smoothly and helped me to feel comfortable as he took photos. He was able to give me very specific insight in regards to posing and the location of my portrait shoot. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get any kind of professional photography done and I look forward to working with him again :)

Michael made this experience for my daughter so special . This was the first time she had her picture professionally taken and he took his time and did such an amazing job. He not only took amazing pictures but he was able to squeeze us in in such short notice . I definitely will be booking him again .

I did a modeling portrait photoshoot with Michael yesterday. He is absolutely professional and knows exactly what he was doing and what a model want. We started in the late afternoon with sun still up till the dusk with different lightings and multiple locations. Michael is a pro and I would definitely shoot with him again in the future. highly recommend!!

He’s one of the best photographers out there! I like his responsiveness, punctuality, and so artistic to his craft. He’s easy to work with and a lots of ideas in photography. Perfect in editing skills! I believe he should increase his pay grade because he deserves better because of his talent and skills in photography!!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we will discuss the overall vision for your project. Whether you need photos for professional purposes, or social media etc. Once I know the purpose of your project, I can then insert my own ideas until we come up with a solid game plan (shoot location, outfits, creative ideas) and then from where the magic happens!
What types of customers have you worked with?
Most customers I have worked with have wanted photo/video shoots for everything from professional online profiles and job sites to social media and everything in between.
