Michael Burgess Photography

“I am an award-winning photographer with over 30 years of experience in studio portraiture. I’ve lived, worked and exhibited in South Africa, Italy and Singapore.”

Portrait photography has always fascinated me because a great portrait is never just about how someone looks: it is about who they are. My work is about creating images that are honest, striking and deeply personal, combining a relaxed, enjoyable experience with careful attention to light, composition, cropping and detail.

With a background in fashion - and a longstanding love of classic portraiture - I know how to bring out a person’s real personality, while finding the angles, posture and subtle nuances that make each person look their absolute best.

The result is portraiture that is technically refined, creatively distinctive, and made to last as museum-quality prints that will last for generations.
