I am Michael, but feel free to call me Mike. I am an artist and have been for over the last three decades. Prior to opening and operating Michael Negrete Photography over 18 years ago I assisted recognized advertising and celebrity photographers in Los Angeles for almost 10 years. This training has given him great technical confidence in his photography.

My confidence behind the camera and casual demeanor helps me create breakthrough images for you, images that capture your essence and unique characteristics. Photographing everyday people and showing their inner beauty is a blessing for me. I love images with impact that show beautiful and touching moments. My work is about feeling the moment and communicating that in a work of art. My true skill as a photographer is in connecting with my clients. I become a friend and an integral part in documenting all of your special moments from weddings to portraits. By being present with my subjects I am able to continually create new images that are unique and beautiful. My life as an artist is truly a dream for me and I am very passionate about it.

Beyond photography I am a father of two fabulous boys; Aidan and Lukas. I am also a competitive cyclist. I race mountain bikes and cyclocross. Being an artist, father and athlete is the focus of my life and I enjoy giving my all in every endeavor. I'm a ball of fun, inspirational energy. And I enjoy sharing my passion and love with everyone I meet.
