“I try to capture the energy of a person who is being true to themselves. This I believe is the essence of a photograph.” – Michael Muller

A short biography…

Michael Muller was raised in Northern California. Due to his father’s business, he spent most of his time traveling with his parents. After seeing the joy of taking pictures with his father, he first picked up the art of photography.

When he returned to the US, he started out photographing snowboarders and saw his pictures exposed after only 1 year. With little experience he got accepted to Otis Parsons School of Design. But after a short semester he was to be considered an art school dropout.

He didn’t give up on photography. Running on talent alone, he started photographing the most prestigious names of fashion and entertainment.

His portfolio shows a decade of photography, traveling, and experiencing people. With his work shown on the covers of the most important magazines today.

In 2007, he published a gallery titled “Quiet” for The Art of Elysium, with water, or underwater-photography as his subject. You can check it out here

His website, mullerphoto.com, has an innovative system of user interaction.
It has been created by Jason Kristofer, (he too has an interesting site to say the least).

Days with my father is a touching compilation of pictures taken after the passing of Phillip Toledano’s mother. He created a close and intimate look of his father-sun relationship during that period.

The website, created by Fashionbuddha, certainly serves as a compliment to his work. The elegant and smooth design give a perfect representation of the circumstances.
