Introduction Ever since Mike started shooting underwater photography and video in 2003 he has strived to find a unique and diverse style of imagery that would appeal to a wide audience. His wreck photography from Truk Lagoon, Vanuatu and North Carolina has become well known in the industry for the stories the images tell while his marine photography with it’s simple but elegant composition has gained much notoriety in it’s own circles. He continues to seek out subject matter that is rich in color, texture and shape and capture the beauty that nature has already provided so well. Presently, Mike is the captain of the dive vessel, "Midnight Express" out of Morehead City, NC and can be found on any given day shooting underwater photographs of the famous shipwrecks of the region as well as the prolific Sand Tiger Shark population that inhabits them.
