I'm a Northern New Mexico based photographer with a primary focus on portrait, lifestyle, sports, and landscape photography. Every photo shoot brings to the table an intrinsic esthetic recipe of beauty, personality, grace, and "wow" in differing proportions and intensity...finding it and capturing it is my job and passion.

My portrait and lifestyle photo shoots are driven by a self fulfilling challenge to apply an esthetic study of a client and using the tools and nuances of mixed strobe and ambient lighting to capture and express the intrinsic drive of that person's personality and pursuits of passion.

My passion in sports photography is the excitement derived in identifying and capturing the esthetic grace and power of a sport's movements and emotion. Baseball, dance, and track & field are my favorites with motorcycle racing a sport I'd love to get an opportunity to shoot.

In landscape photography it's the cool challenge of executing an esthetic capture of a scene and manipulating the exposure curves to play the shadows and highlights against each other to give emphasis and prominence to the personality I see in the scene.

EMV Studios, established in 2005, is the studio and business engine behind my photography, Michael P. Young Photography. It provides me the business crucial support needed in assignment management, shoot scheduling, e-commerce, product procurement, distribution and licensing.

It is a family business where we pride ourselves on offering professional photography represenation services with exceptional customer service and high quality products...all in a way we would expect if we were a client.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions, porfolio inquires, or general photography questions.  We very much look forward to talking with you!

Sincerely,

Michael P. Young
