What's behind the door? Photograph

Michael Tenszen is a self-taught Canadian fine art photographer, born and raised on the Canadian prairies and currently living in Calgary, Alberta. Growing up with the harsh prairie winters and the monochromatic perspective it dealt out impacted Michael in a way that influenced his preference towards primarily bright, colorful imagery. He tends to subconsciously gravitate to those images that are all around yet seldom consciously seen and focuses on finding beauty in the ordinary. He has been taking photographs for over 40 years now and has been witness to many wonderful changes in the photographic world. Having shot in both film and digital, he shoots exclusively digital these days and the majority of his work faces only enough post-processing to polish the already present diamond. He believes that art should stir the soul and invoke emotion and it is his hope that one or more of his prints will work its way into your home and do the same.
