Meet Your Photographer

Michael Spiotta
Michael caught the photography bug in 2016 while living in East Africa conducting wildlife research. He continues to travel the world in search of capturing memorable wildlife encounters. The search for wildlife for Michael is not just a hobby, it’s his passion. He is currently finishing a Masters in Animal Behavior and Conservation at Hunter College, and previously received his BA in Sustainable Development at Columbia University.
Michael began pursuing his passion for photography as a business in 2019 after photographing his first dog sports event. He has worked with animals for several years and deeply enjoys capturing lifelong memories of dogs for and with their owners.

"This was an amazing experience. Mike was very knowledgeable about the lighting and the best location for the pictures. And they came out amazing. I’m so impressed and I highly recommend!!"

"Mike has taken some of my absolute favorite photos of my dog Hari! His photos are beautifully framed, focused, and edited, and his turn around time is fantastic. He also manages to capture the personality of his subjects in such a special way. I'm looking forward to having Mike shoot more events in the northeast!"
