Hey there, I'm Mike Duarte.

I'm a live and let live, down to earth, kind of dude. I've spent the last few years studying photography, videography, and graphic design. I grew up in Central Jersey where I spent a sizable amount of my youth exploring vast fantasy worlds of movies, books, and video games. It was when I went camping for the first time that I realized the world outside was even more spectacular than fiction.

I started taking photos to document my travels, friends, and everyday life. I learned how to shoot a variety of subjects using an almost fully manual film camera. I developed a great appreciation for the film process and spent many hours in the darkroom at my college. The finite nature of film made me much more selective with my shutter presses. I learned the fundamentals to make better use of each frame and haven't stopped learning since.

From graphic design to photo retouching to making bonafide red and cyan 3D images, I’ve spent my time mastering many different things and I am currently at my peak physical form for optimal transport of photo equipment. You can see some of my work by checking out my galleries. If you’re looking for someone with both knowledge and passion you’ve come to the right place. I can help capture your event/vision with the utmost clarity and creativity. Together let's make something worth sharing.
