Jess, North Olmsted, OH | Model - Working with Mike was a good experience. He made me feel really comfortable and encouraged me throughout the shoot. Also he never hesitated to listen for new ideas or try different types of angles. He's good at making people look good.

Ni, Cuyahoga Falls, OH | Fan - Although I have not had the pleasure of working with Mike, I am glad to have met him because not only is he amazing at what he does, he's also driven, focused, and skilled. His photographs show just how passionate he is about his work and that will take him far in life. Even though I haven't known him for very long, you can tell that he also has an interest in people and helping them to progress and grow so that they can achieve their dreams just like him. I look forward to working with him in the future, so that I can perhaps absorb some of this magical presence he exudes.

Tempty, Elyria, OH | Model - I have worked with Mike for awhile now both with OG & his other sites and he is a very passionate person when it comes to his work. As one of his models I loved the fact that he could show off my versatility. He has taught me a lot about photography, and if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't have wanted to do it. Mike is a awesome person and as you look at his pictures you can see that passion. Keep it up Mike. Hope to work with you again soon.

Claudia, Mayfield Heights, OH | Model - Taking that fact that this was my first photo shoot ever and looking at the results, it is obvious the amazing job Michael did with me. His great people skills made me feel like a professional model, respected and appreciated. I was really comfortable working with him and I can’t wait to do it again. He accentuates the great features of the person he is working with, creating amazing photos. Hi has a very artistic point of view. What shows he is not just shooting a model; he is creating a whole composition, a piece of art.

Dawn, Brunswick, OH | Fan - His pictures take me right to the subject of the photo and he offers up different angles to help me get a real perspective on the subject. He's a very talented man behind the camera.

I simply love his work and I always check the site often to see what he has done next!

Morgan, Cleveland, OH | Fan - Michael is a man who loves his craft. He exudes an air of professionalism that is only matched by his amazing photography. His work is the physical manifestation of a truly gifted and talented mind. I highly recommend he and his services as his love for photography can create nothing less than a truly satisfying and pleasing experience.

Rachel, Cleveland, OH | Fan - I haven't had the privlidge of working with Mike yet, but I hope to get the chance soon. He is a wonderful person to talk to and an amazing artist. I hope to meet up with him someday soon for a chance to let him work his magic on me. From what I have seen he brings out the best in everyone he photographs.

Meg, Burnsville, MN | Fan - From what I've seen of Mike's work, I am highly impressed; it simply amazes me. He has an innate ability to capture the most beautiful photographs.

Be proud you have found your niche!

Elyse, Parma, OH | Fan - I've known Mike for about a while now, and I've had a couple opportunities to work with him, and I've got to say that I've fallen in love with his style of photography. He knows how to find an angle of any subject and make you think about it or see it in a way you have never done before. He has a passion about it that he manages to transfer to his pictures that will get anyone interested in what he's doing.

Ayva, Cleveland Hieghts, OH | Model - Working with Michael is a delight. He introduced me to the wonderful world of modeling. I never knew I had it in me. I always liked photography and pictures but he brought me to a new place. He's incredibly easy to be around and although I only shot with him a few times, I feel like I have been working with him for years. I look forward to our next shoot. Mr.Outsider you kick ass!

Sladjan, Brunswick, OH | Fan - I've had the chance to see what exactly Mike does and he's absolutely an amazing guy to be around when working. I definitely learned a lot from this guy and if you're a model I say give it a shot. If you feel self-conscious about yourself I guarantee it that it's going to be different with this guy as he can make you feel like the most beautiful girl in the world even if you aren't. For example from my experience of watching what goes on first-hand, the girls are really shy and not sure of themselves but at the end of the day the man gets it done and the result is amazing.

Britiny, Aurora, IL | Model - I just had my first shoot with Mike just recently, and I have to say that I don't think any photographer could have made me feel more comfortable modeling the first time. I am probably one of the most self-conscious and insecure people alive and Mike made the shoot a really enjoyable experience; not to mention how beautifully the pictures turned out. I have no doubt that Mike really has the capability to go far as a photographer and his pictures speak from themselves. YOU'RE AWESOME MIKE! THANKS AGAIN!

Andrea, Corbin, KY | Fan - I have known Mike for a few years now. The work he does both through a lens and on a screen is amazing. He has a very creative mind and uses every bit of it to design outstanding work! I have always been a big fan of his, and I am waiting patiently for the moment I am able to drive and have a photo shoot with him! I highly recommend his work to anyone. He is the type that will rise to any occasion and show off his abilities! You wont be sorry for seeking him out! Trust me!

Elise, Cleveland, OH | Model - I loved shooting with Mike. I have known him a long time now, and I am more than comfortable shooting with him. He has the patience and a go-getting attitude which makes him an awesome photographer. I have shot with him multiple times, I absolutely loved the pictures and will continue to work with him.

Lola, Cleveland, OH | Model - Working with Outsider was truly a great experience. His talent is very apparent in all the photos he takes. His eye for angles and perspectives in every picture brings out beauty. Being my first shoot, I was nervous to start, but Outsider made everything very easy going and I was immediately comfortable. I recommend him to everybody in need of a good photographer.

Ivy, Cleveland, OH | Model - Working with Outsider was a amazing experience, not only did I have an awesome time shooting with him, the pictures of course turned out great. He made me feel so comfortable. I've gotten more compliments on his photos than I have with any other photographer that I have worked with. He's definitely got an eye for a great shot and I would love to work with him again.

Rosa, Chicago, IL | Fan - I can see that Michael has a passion for what he does, whether it be towards his website, graphics, or photography. I love the fact that he is able to capture the beauty of those he works with, no matter their shape or size. This gives off a sense in which one can tell that Mike is an easy going and comfortable person to work with, you can just be yourself. Mike has a good eye for details and can work wonders with his camera. He has a vision for what he wants to do with all of this and little by little he will be able to achieve it, to it’s fullest potential.

Jeanette, Ft. Hood, TX | Fan - What can I say about Mike's Photography? It kicks ass! His eye for detail is impeccable. He has a unique sense of style that I love. He has a great eye for any type of shot or angle. He can find it no matter the type of person, have them be plus size, skinny, tall, or short. He can make anyone look like a star. As a fellow photographer, I really admire Mike's work. I cant wait to meet him someday.

Sharlyn, Hartford, CT | Fan - What shall I say of his work...it is one with great integrity and soul. It catches the inner simplicity of a person all the way down to there inner demons. His work is full of passion where you can see the intimacy of the person or object he is catching for all of us to see and appreciate in a humble way, even if sexual in nature. His art is one I will purchase and display with much pride. Kudos to you!

Janelle, Conneaut Lake, PA | Fan - Mike's eye for the perfect picture impressed me from the first visit I made to Outsider Graphics. A good photograph makes you stop and look, and excellent photograph brings you back for me. I am a repeat visitor to Mike's online portfolio because his work is a cut above most of what I see today. He conducts himself as a professional and his down-to-earth personality put me immediately at ease when we spoke. I look forward to a shoot with Mike in the near future.

Maria Chang, Miami, FL | Fan - It's been a couple of years since I met Mike and about that long since he introduced me to Outsider Graphics. I have seen them both grow professionally and personally. Mike lives for his photography and his websites, I have never seen a person literally breath, eat, and sleep their job the way he does. He demonstrates dedication and passion for what he believes and what he loves. O.G. has always demonstrated versatility and never been afraid to take any risk. I hope to see O.G. grows into what he has always dreamed.

RAIDEN, Cleveland, OH | Fan - I see Mike as a dude who has ambition, perseverance and patience enough to let his pursuits take him to the heights he wants to achieve. We have had the best of times and the worst of times, but the best of times were always the best. There is no doubt his endeavors will succeed and I wish the best of luck to ol' chrome dome.

Razvan Neculai, Morrisville, PA | Fan - Every time that Mike and me have hung out it was always a adventure. He also was teaching me things about photography, websites, and computers. There is no way possible that someone who has put in so much work into their own dreams and not have it not work out. He has a lot of heart, ambition, and determination. You also influence others to be the same way, which is good. You may not know it, but it's true especially about how you chose to follow your dreams. Not many people can say that they did that in their lifetime. I wish you the best and good luck Mike.

Kitty Kimora, St. Paul, MN | Fan - I am currently an aspiring model and a fan of Outsider Graphics, particularly Mike's photography. Mike's determination and amibition are clear to me, and I look forward to working with him in the near future since it seems that Mike has the same artistic energy and views as myself. The photos that Mike has taken and displayed are incredibly unique and tastefully done. I know I can feel at ease with him behind the camera to capture the uniqueness that I would like to bring to Outsider Graphics and to my own website as well.

Jilleen Dennis, Brunswick, OH | Affiliate - Working with Mike has presented me with a great deal of learning experiences. Never before have I met a person who has seen their goals so clearly, and pursued them with such clear cut determination and ambition. If the measure of an artist's drive determines how much success they will have in life, Mike will be among the few great success stories of his time. I look forward to my continued partnership with Mike through D.E.S. as well as Outsider Graphics, and truly aspire to have my ambition more closely mirror his own as I further develop as an artist.

ocean, Rhode Island | Fan - Loving nature as I do, I find that Outsider Graphics has the unique ability to capture the very essence of life in the outdoors and the moment in a single shot. His use of black and white on some of his photos adds to the sense of time gone by, yet savored. I'm very impressed with the textures I see, from wood to water. It's amazing how this photographer can bring nature inside to us in a single photograph.

Meadow, Cleveland, OH | Model - I am an aspiring plus sized model and he made me feel so comfortable about myself. It shows in the amazing photo's he has taken of me. I have a pure smile, and nothing seemed forced, because it wasn't. His personality is wonderful and he has amazing people skills. I will work for him anytime!

Lou, Aurora, IL | Fan - I haven't personally worked with Mike, however after viewing his photography as well as his graphics, I believe his one of the most under-rated, under used, and talented artists that targets the alternative and internet driven demographic. It is rare that I meet someone with so much talent and sincere passion for what he does. The world needs more people with character like his.
