Rodolfo Michel Finds Himself In The Darkroom

Before establishing himself as a formidable photographer, Rodolfo Michel spent many years searching for his creative passion.  He initially studied both Zoology and English, but it wasn’t until he enrolled in photography at Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara (U.A.G.) and became a photographer’s assistant that things finally clicked. 

Rodolfo Michel then dedicated his life to the study of photography and photographic experimentation. After spending thousands of hours in the darkroom, his hard work, dedication, and creative ability is paying off.  Rodolfo Michel’s artistic gifts and passions have become his career.           

Photographer, Rodolfo Michel, now has several solo art exhibitions, locally and abroad.  He has access to major events, including: the Billboard Music Awards, the Grammys (both Latin and American), and several movie and music festivals.  Rodolfo Michel has had the privilege of meeting and working with celebrities like popular Colombian pop singer Juanés, actress Bai-Ling, and Grammy Award winning artist, La Mala Rodriguez.    

As a commercial photographer, Rodolfo Michel appreciates both high fashion and hip street wear and has photographed spreads for Flexi, Animal Revolution, LeiMarco, and LOKA.   He also specializes in individual custom portraits and has photographed artistic aspects of cities for postcards.

Rodolfo Michel is an artist and, although he mostly sees life through a lens, that does not limit his art to only photography.  As with any well-rounded artist, Rodolfo Michel expresses himself through various forms, including, but not limited to, his bronze sculptures.  Beyond his commercial photography, Rodolfo Michel photographs unique architecture and design and loves to discover the human form through his photographic emulsions.  

Photographer, Rodolfo Michel, is grateful for the opportunity to do what he loves for a living.  As an artist, he remains true to his vision, exposing beauty in both its polished and raw forms.  Rodolfo Michel looks forward to embarking on his future artistic works, as well as submerging himself in the art of discovery.
