Creative Senior Photography

Michael T.E Bowen

Michael is my Son and what better way to exercise his imagination than to put him in ​front of the camera and let him see the magic take place. Michael is a talented artist in his own right and consistently​ pushes the limits of his work. As Michael says himself, I have a very artistic eye when it comes to photography and knows how to capture the best shots and how to use the environment around him to his advantage.

In his own words “I mean it’s just like a delicious Banana split. My Dad is the big Banana that makes everything about the photography unique and special; The camera is the pastrami and bubblegum flavoured​ ice cream that captures the photos; and the Model, you’re the sweet and sour mustard sauce that goes on top”.

About My Photography

My photography captures a moment in time - a split-second that remains locked in time often abstracted and completely random. It is in these moments I see potential element, shape, abstraction, and life in colour, inspiration before the moment fades to grey into the past disappearing forever.

My creative portrait photography services provide a beautiful and unique perspective of people with passion and imagination that will have your portfolio catching the eye of family, friends and the world. Take a look around at my work, I promise you'll find yourself in wonder of the possibilities for you.

Testimonials

What People are Saying

{Thank you seems so small and just not enough for him to truly understand my level of appreciation. Darren graciously volunteered to be the photographer at a benefit for Mackenzie Lynn Barron, a 3-year-old diagnosed with DIPG incurable, non-treatable brain cancer. Darren is the most kind-hearted, generous man. His level of professionalism is beyond measure and he was able to capture the day for us with little direction from me.

The Real Deal!
{Darren did a photoshoot for me and the experience was outstanding. Prior to the shoot, he asked what I was looking to get from the photos and where I would be using them. In my case, they were for social media profiles. He thought of some great locations, took the pictures, and delivered the finals promptly. I can’t say enough about his professionalism and creativity. But all of that shines through in his finished product and his work speaks for itself.
