About Me

Welcome!
My name is Michael Chornak
I'm in my 10th quarter at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh for my Bachelor's of Science in Photography.
I've been photographing since 2002 when I picked up my first camera, which was a Pentax KX and took an entry level photography class in high school.
Every year after that throughout high school I took a photography class and my skills started to become much stronger.
By the time I was a senior, I was in photography portfolio and was also enrolled in the Post Secondary Enrollment Options program to take photography classes at Columbus State Community College.
I finally perfected my style once I started taking classes at AiP and now I'm very confident with my work and actually know that people out there and my classmates really enjoy the work that I produce.
My main goal is to become a well known and rounded Nature Photographer.
The types of photography that I enjoy to do and do best are Nature, Commercial and Urban Landscape.
Photography is my passion, it's my future, it's my life, and nothing will ever change that.
I do consider myself an artist because all of the work I do has a personal reason behind it. I don't photograph just to do it. I do it out of shear love for the medium, and the joy I get out of showing the rest of the world how I see it.
