Michelle Young is one of the leading portrait photographers in Sydney, known for her artistic portrait photography, skills in traditional photography and her love of black and white images. But who is Michelle, and what makes her photography so special?
About Michelle Young
Born and raised in Sydney, Michelle currently resides in the inner west near Camperdown with her family.
Discovering her love of photography in high school, Michelle’s passion for the medium was obvious the second she picked up her first camera. Her work reflected her enthusiasm and was quickly published.
From here, Michelle followed her love for photography to university, where she studied a Bachelor of Visual Communication: Photography and Digital Imaging.
Being successful early in her career across the fashion, interiors and lifestyle photography industries meant Michelle quickly learned that fashion was her central passion in this space.
Michelle became an ambassador for young photographers and assistant for the Advertising Commercial Magazine Photographers over many years, creating workshops, seminars, a register, phone support and exhibitions.
After a short break, she was welcomed back into the world of photography after giving birth to her two beautiful boys and was commissioned to shoot major children’s fashion and advertising campaigns from highly regarded brands.
Now working as one of Sydney’s leading commercial kids’ fashion and lifestyle photographer, Michelle can combine her three loves: photography, fashion and children.
Michelle’s Philosophy for Fine Art Portrait Photography
Each portrait Michelle produces is a unique and hand-crafted piece of art. Michelle captures beautiful, timeless bespoke portraits because she truly believes every one of her subjects is beautiful and should feel that way when captured by her camera.
Inspired by the Old Masters, with their treatment and understanding of the relationship between light and shade in paintings, Michelle is also taken with traditional analogue photography.
The combination of these two eras work together in Michelle’s photographs to make the subjects of her photography come alive in a single frame.
Michelle prides herself on producing art that you would be delighted to hang in your home, and with her, you can always expect professionalism and a memorable experience.
