Michael Weschler started doing portraits of his friends with a Kodak Instamatic camera at the age of seven. He has since gone on to study at Cal State University, eventually shooting for The New York Times for over a decade.

His portrait work includes notable celebrities Deepak Chopra, Richard Gere, Liam Neeson, Donatella Versace, Liev Schreiber, Don Cheadle, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, to name a few.

His editorial work has run in magazines such as GQ, Vogue, Architectural Digest, Oprah, Allure, Newsweek, Men's Health, Dwell, Food & Wine and many more. He has worked collaboratively on many books and his pictures have been included in photography textbooks, most notably, 'Photography in Focus'.
