Michael O’Neal trained first as a graphic designer – quickly climbed to become a talented art director. Not so unusual – but yet unusual – after a stint at Apple’s in-house graphic design group – he decided to become a photographer.
In fact, his background in design and art direction have helped shape his photographic style. The ‘naturalness’ of his subjects is both esthetically beautiful and emotional.
He’s involved in music, launched a collective, organizing photo shows and walkabouts in San Francisco / USA

Grace, elegance and poetic describe the art and eye of Nichole Sloane photography. The colors are so rich and vibrant you feel like jumping right in.
The nonchalance of subjects salutes Michael’s ability as a producer, to organize and create a relaxing atmosphere during a shoot.
