Michelle doesn’t photograph people, landscapes, or things, she photographs the way they make her feel, the connection that lies between what’s on the other side of the lens and herself, the emotion, the details, textures, the peak of exhilarating energy, the bridge between the past and the future, the candid gatherings in particular places, that moment you want to re-live over and over again. Michelle Bird photographs…life.
