About
I am a professional photographer with 20 years experience in the fashion industry as a model. I specialize in photographing people, from high-end headshots, portraiture, and personal branding to commercial work and events. My experience on both sides of the camera allows me to bring out the best in people and capture natural, genuine expression. I use both natural and strobe lighting to make anyone look their absolute best. I love seeing the reactions of clients as they see themselves looking better than they ever thought they could in their images. My clients tend to be surprised at how relaxed, natural, and fun a shoot can be.

Michael is a talented photographer. He is very personable and immediately puts you at ease. I hired him to shoot some professional headshots and they turned out beautifully. If you need hair and makeup done as well Vanessa did a premium job. Also I was in a time crunch and they happily worked inside my limitations and got me my finished pictures before my deadline. Highly recommended!

I worked with Michael Teak to take some fashion-oriented photos for my portfolio and he was nothing short of phenomenal. Michael clearly commands deep knowledge of photography; I was impressed by his use of light and the both prowess and creativity he brought to the shoot. His experience as a model also allows him to give poignant advice on posing and how to create great photographs. He is also kind and a fun person to work with--he does a great job at putting people at ease. Not only did I get some great images but I learned an immense amount from Michael during the shoot and enjoyed myself. I would recommend Michael to anyone and believe he's one of the best photographers in the Denver Area I've encountered.

Go to Michael for your headshots. You won't regret it. He made me feel at ease, he took the time to get to know me and what I wanted .... he just went above and beyond. Lovely person aside from great photographer.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I started off in the fashion industry as a model back in 1998, which took me all over the world. I was fortunate to work with top photographers like Mark Seliger and Peter Lindbergh, as well as countless others. Over time I developed an eye for lighting and angles, figuring out how to showcase people in the best way. Just as importantly, I learned what it’s like to be on both ends of the camera, and how to communicate with and direct a client through a shoot, all while having fun!

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    While I do often work with experienced models and actors, recently I had a few clients who weren’t all that excited about the idea of being in front of the camera- which is very common as well. Once we got going I coached them and joked with them until we were all having a good time, and the images turned out great! These sessions were each around two hours, but the session lengths usually range between one and four hours, sometimes more depending on the number of people and what we’re going for.
