Michael Swart Photography
Early on
I have been fascinated by photography as long as I can remember with its ability to move deep emotions. Early on, I fell in love with the idea of creating my own productions, so I set out to learn everything I could about storytelling through photos and filmmaking.
Current
I have been teaching myself photography & filmmaking for many years as a hobbyist and continue to learn every day. I am building my business as a freelance photographer and filmmaker and thoroughly enjoying the journey. View some of my social media posts here.
Swart Photos® Goals
- Creativity and Imagination
Photography, for all intents and purposes, is a form of art. Therefore, it requires a creative mind—and plenty of imagination. A good photographer must be able to look at something ordinary, or even extraordinary, and find a million different ways to interpret what he’s seeing and convey those interpretations in beautiful and meaningful photos.
- An Eye for Detail
A good photographer must have a very keen eye for detail to ensure that all elements within the photo—the lighting, the composition, the subject, and everything else in between—work together harmoniously to convey the right vision or message.
- Passion
Passion sets a good photographer apart from the rest. When you’re passionate about what you do, it will always shine through in your work as it will make you work a little harder, push a little farther, and strive to be better than you were the day before.
