Portrait
Business and personal-branding portraits, application, author and actor headshots. For people who want to look like themselves in the picture — approachable, present, real.
It's not
the gear.
It's the connection
About me
I'm Michael Meyer — a Hamburg-based photographer for portrait, editorial and stage. Anyone can buy good gear; what matters is the relationship built during the shoot.
Services
What you can book me for — three focuses, one standard: real images instead of staged poses.
Editorial
Photo stories for magazines, interviews, reportage and company narratives. Narrative photography that fits the text, the brand and the occasion.
Stage & Live
Concerts, theatre, readings and events. Images that capture the energy of the moment — even in difficult light and without disrupting the flow.

Waiting
WAITING shows artists in the moments right before the show – uncontrived, focused, full of anticipation for the stage. No glossy aesthetic, no staging. At its heart is the moment between waiting and stepping on stage.

Anyone can buy good gear. I build a relationship during the shoot — and that's exactly what you see in the image later.
As a Hamburg-based photographer I work at the intersection of portrait, editorial and stage. I'm not after the perfect pose, but the honest moment: trust, closeness, a real gaze.
