Michael Schmitt

Michael Bernhart Schmitt is a artist-photographer, known for his lustful images of the female body, combining sexuality and pleasure with high fashion. Michael uses his drawing stills to create story-boards before every assignment. These drawings serve as the foundation on which his artwork "paintings"are built.

In the span of his decades long career, he has work as an assistant fashion photographer for Vogue Wright Studios and a freelance model photographer for Playboy Model Agency and the founders of Aria Model Management. Michael draws inspiration from Arthur Elgort, Helmut Newton and Stan Malinowski.
