Michael Bina

My husband and I brought our cat, Lolly over to Michael’s studio for a pet portrait session and couldn’t be happier with the photos! During the shoot, we kept saying, «Wow! That could go on the cover of Cat Fancy!»
Our cat is an indoor only kitty so we were a little nervous about bringing her into a new environment, but Michael was really good with her and went the extra mile to make her feel comfortable. It certainly helps that he’s a huge animal lover!
Five stars and two thumbs up!

Michael did an incredible job photographing for our hair business portfolio. What started out as a simple Before and After concept was transformed into a lot more with Michael’s vision. Looking at the pictures, I see that brought out the best in our models, which is a skill not every photographer possesses. He was friendly and approachable. We all enjoyed working with him. He knew exactly what to do with the lights, the equipment, the props and the backdrops.
Not only is he talented, but also very professional and easy-​going. I had a wonderful experience working with Michael and cannot wait to work with him again.

Michael is a great photographer. He’s really easy-​going and has a great eye for composition. I’m someone who had no professional experience modeling before, but he still managed to capture a side of me that I really liked. Considering that he’s just starting out and is already doing phenomenal work, I think you’ll be pleased if he takes your photos.
The shoot basically consisted of me coming in with several outfits I wanted to have photos of, and he would adjust his studio and lighting to accommodate the scene, and then you can pose like crazy and he’ll take nice shots. He also had some pretty clever ideas that he wanted to try (like a film noir scene) which I thought came out pretty well.
Overall, a very fun and pleasant experience, and I walked away with good photos. Here are some of the shots I walked away with:
