Michael Hubbard's journey into photography began as a child growing up in Carmel, California, a town renowned for its vibrant artistic community, full of nurturing mentors to learn from. Immersed in this environment, he found inspiration in the works of local legends such as Ansel Adams and Ed Weston, setting an exceptionally high standard for his own aspirations. Being surrounded by creatives like these made a huge impact on Mike, and he has always viewed life through the perspective of a photographer’s eye, constantly aware of composition and creative detail.

While photography was Michael's first love, he quickly expanded his focus to include painting.  As a child of the vibrant 80s, Michael has always had a passion for designs that incorporate a graphic sense of style. Today, it is easy to see this passion in his paintings. 

Michael feels that today we’re far too often bombarded by information, accosted by others vying for our attention, and pulled off course by the constant distractions of technology.
Because of this, he firmly believes that a single image, a static moment in time, is more important than ever before, as it allows the viewer to pause, take a moment for themselves, and escape to a different place.

 His work focuses on subject matter that fits seamlessly within contemporary or eclectic environments. Regardless of the medium, his primary goal is to create art that incorporates a strong sense of design, while provoking thought, and ultimately taking viewers to that different place.
