PHOTOJOURNALISM MEETS ART --- Michael Falco is an award winning, prolific photographer, whose work is both iconic and familiar. His polished style comes from his ongoing photojournalistic work and passion for documentary photography. A frequent photo contributor for the New York Times, his shots of celebrities and documentation of 9/11 at Fresh Kills, Staten Island, mean that many of his photos are recognizable images around the world. Micheal has taken portraits of all sorts of people, from hardworking dockworkers and salt miners, to celebrities and household names. He loves documenting the worlds that are disappearing around us, such as New York’s Garment District or the last shipbuilding yard in NY Harbor. His photography is centrally featured in a 10’ by 30’ glass mural at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal in a beautiful art piece that commemorates the new lower Manhattan building. His diverse experience and photojournalistic style, translates into wedding pictures that are real, honest, and rare. “Weddings are classic, iconic events, that happen once in everyone’s lifetime. We’re very familiar with them. Each wedding is an opportunity to take 'The Classic Image' – that photo that turns into the next wedding image icon,” Micheal explains. “All the elements are there, it’s how they unfold. I treat weddings very seriously; I can create archetypes at every wedding I shoot.” With this approach, Micheal has indeed taken a new twist on quintessential pictures of each wedding’s unique moments.

It’s how I pour my passion and capture moments of sincerity. I want the viewer to really feel like they are there in the moment. Storytelling is my favorite aspect of photography. And weddings are tailor-made stories, ready to be captured.” --Micheal Falco 2009-08-18T22:08:53-04:00 Front-page *New York Times* photographer and seasoned celebrity wedding photographer Micheal Falco captures evocative moments in a flash image/jpeg Michael_Falco.jpg 82965 2009-09-10T00:54:31-04:00 8 image/jpeg 01_MIC0001.jpg 224431 2010-02-08T11:27:13-05:00 New York City Michael Falco 4 Michael's rates start at $6,500 2010-02-08T11:27:15-05:00 8
