Michael Raveney
Miami - photographers
From Paris to Madrid, Cuzco to Istanbul and Madras to Hong Kong, Michael Raveney experienced an array of cultures and peoples - rich with visual impressions - all before his 14th birthday. Along the way he kept vivid imagery of each place in his heart, knowing one day he’d be able to share it with the world through the art of photography.
Michael’s first experience as a professional photographer was in Bosnia where he captured images of war-torn areas and the relief efforts of the UN, International Red Cross, and various NGOs for news organisations including Newsweek, The Times and AP.
Having visited almost 40 countries, in his mid-twenties Michael finally returned to the US where his work transitioned from photojournalism to creative photography. Eventually his focus turned to fashion photography, where he gained momentum in the public eye and was featured in GQ, Blender, Maxim, and numerous local and national magazines.
Michael continues to broaden his sphere of success and exposure. His most recent work includes fashion, automotive, product, beauty, location, advertising campaigns and even documentary work. He currently resides in Miami Beach, Florida.
