"The portrait. It is more than just a brief glimpse of a person. It can be the reflection of the soul, a soft centre in a hard shell, the hidden child inside a man, a strong will or simply a visualisation of competence in the eye of the beholder."

Karl Michalski is renowned for his sensitive portraits, which he creates for clients on a daily basis. He has been a freelance photographer for 20 years, and with equipment that is always up to date his secret is his on-location work. It is only on location, in the natural surroundings of his projects, that the most beautiful and natural atmosphere can be achieved.
