He approaches photography with an intense passion that sets him apart from other photographers. Michael Strider is on a relentless quest to capture the spirit of emotion.For the first time in my career I will be offering Limited Edition Prints of my work. My web site, striderimage.com will be open in early 2008. A portion of the profits from the sales will go to various charities such as the American Cancer Society. Please feel free to contact me with questions regarding your favorite band. My collection is too vast to show on the MySpace page.I offer a vast array of photography ranging from fashion to weddings, family portraits, commercial and special events. Whether you're in need of a headshot, portfolio, band photos or the most important day of your life, your wedding, I will make you look like a celebrity! Contact me for pricing.
