A little bit about Me

It’s not about the camera…

At Michael Gibson Creative Photography, I blend professional standards with creative flair to provide you with the images that will make you stand out from the crowd.

Following a career in professional services I have been fortunate enough to have been able to turn my lifelong hobby into what I do for a living.

I have spent my entire career getting to know all kinds of people and businesses, and my natural curiosity continues to drive me to learn as much as I can about my clients in order to tell their story as well as I can with the images we create together.

So, when we work together, the first step is not to reach for the camera, but to get to know each other.

More About Me

A short word about AI

At Michael Gibson Creative Photography, I have signed up to the Human-First Responsible AI Pledge.

This pledge affirms my responsibility to adopt AI ethically, transparently, and inclusively.

In other words, I have committed to the responsible use of AI.

AI is so prevalent these days. It is embedded in pretty much all photo editing tools. It can be a powerful resource but it can also be over-used.

At Michael Gibson Creative Photography, you can rest assured that images of you will always be of you and not the product of AI.
