CREATOR PROFILE

Michael Sugianto

Photographer
Working from Calgary, Michael approaches every assignment as a visual documentarian rather than a conventional commercial shooter. His editorial instincts translate into work that feels lived-in and authentic — a quality born from years of embedding himself in the destinations he photographs. His production process is built around adaptability, which makes him equally at home on a solo road trip assignment as he is on a multi-day brand campaign in unfamiliar terrain.

Visual editorial photography with a documentary sensibility.
