about me.

My business, Michael S. Greening Photography, was born out of a deep love for the art and an unwavering commitment to quality. I’m here to bring your vision to life, one frame at a time.

My journey into photography began when I was just 11 years old, armed with a Brownie Box camera and a sense of wonder. I didn’t know it at the time, but those early moments of capturing the world as I saw it would ignite a lifelong passion. The thrill of transforming a vision in my mind into something tangible that I could share with others was captivating—I was hooked from the start, and I never stopped taking pictures.

Over the next 45 years, photography remained a cherished hobby, though not a constant one. I dabbled in it whenever I could, relishing the process of shooting with my Canon camera and developing the images in a darkroom. While I didn’t pursue it professionally during those years, the joy I found in capturing images never waned.

It wasn’t until 2008 that I took the leap into professional photography. The transition came with the purchase of my first digital camera—a turning point that led me to put away the darkroom for good. This was also the time I began photographing live-action Rock-n-Roll bands in concert. As I honed my technique, my images grew more dynamic and exciting, eventually catching the eye of someone willing to pay for my work. That moment marked the beginning of my professional career.

In 2020, after years of balancing life as a full-time plumber and a part-time photographer, I retired from plumbing and embraced photography full-time. I became a photographer who specializes in capturing whatever my clients envision. My portfolio is diverse, ranging from landscapes and cityscapes to street photography, portraits, and pets. I’m equipped for realty and architectural photos, weddings, reunions, and any gathering you can imagine. Whether you need natural background shots or images set against a green screen to transport you anywhere in the world, I’ve got you covered. I also take on commission work for those seeking a specific look for their walls.

Pricing is determined by the project and is always negotiable.
