| “There is a depth and clarity in Michael’s work that I have never seen before. The work that Michael did for us changed the direction and future of our company and opened up new and exciting possibilities we truly never imagined possible.” -Len Foley, CEO of Body Ecology One look at a Michael Roud film or photograph and the difference is clear. Time and time again, clients comment that Michael finds the heart of what makes each client or project unique. You can see it in the way the models’ eyes shine in his photographs, in the way his movies and music videos are like nothing on the market today. These two separate but equally important abilities—coaching his subjects to reveal their genuine, engaging inner characters, and then taking a photo or calling “action” to a beautifully lit and aesthetically orchestrated scene—are what have made Michael one of the most sought-after director/photographers in Los Angeles. Whether he is doing an album cover for Jesse McCartney, editorial photography for Flaunt Magazine, commercial photography for Lifestyle Network, or directing cutting-edge music videos, Michael always imparts a truly cinematic, one-of-a-kind feel to his work, garnered from his love of the movies and experience in making them. He achieves this by never using cookie-cutter backgrounds or routine lighting set-ups—instead, he creates individualized pieces perfectly tailored to the look, goals and unique character of each client. As a result, those who have worked with him know that when you want next-generation quality and technique, combined with unmatched professionalism and meticulous attention to detail, you go to Michael From shooting commercials to photographing fashion spreads for magazines, each day brings something new for Michael, and he relishes the creative challenge. And although he is truly a man passionate about his art, his greatest reward is hearing back from satisfied clients. Knowing that together they have created something meaningful is what inspires Michael, what keeps him hard at work every day, searching for that perfect shot.
