About Me

Mike Celona is an American video artist and photographer who graduated with a BFA in Art Video from Syracuse University's School of Visual and Performing Arts in 2005. He frequently tries to capture the subtleties of everyday life and infuse it with new meaning in the digital environment either through heavily processed imagery or the elegant simplicity of a single unbroken shot. In addition to his art projects Mike currently works as a professional film/video editor in Rochester, NY.
