MIKE McGEE – SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA HYPERCOLOR & ARTISTIC PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

If you are looking for a unique and bold portrait, creative hypercolor portraits are striking and have a strong visual impact. My hypercolor images are portraits with colored gels that are vivid, colorful, and vibrant. I really enjoy shooting hypercolor shots, because not many photographers shoot these, and they combine two of my biggest strengths: photography and digital post-production.

Hypercolor Extreme Colors & Artistic Portrait Photographer: MODELING PORTFOLIOS
These types of images are especially helpful for models who want may want diversity in their lookbooks. These images are bold and striking, and may help you stand out on various social media platforms. My hypercolor photography style is unique, and when added to your online portfolio, Model Card / Comp Card, or lookbook, these images definitely draw attention. These images really pop on social media especially, and often draw great interest due to the uniqueness of the lighting. My digital post-production is what takes these images to the next level, and really add vibrance, tones, and detail.

Hypercolor Extreme Colors & Artistic Portrait Photographer: MUSICIAN PORTRAITS / HEADSHOTS
My hypercolor portraits are highly artistic, and are often perfect for musicians or other creatives who want a bold headshot or portrait. The dark tones and vibrant colors, make images pop, and are well suited for musicians, performers, or artists who may want an edgy and stunning shot.

Hypercolor Extreme Colors & Artistic Portrait Photographer: EDITORIAL FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY
Editorial fashion photography is all about telling a visual artistic story. With Editorial fashion photography, it’s also about standing out artistically from the rest. If you’re a fashion or accessories line that wants to have your clothing or accessories as part of an edgy concept, my hypercolor shots really draw interest and are great for publication.

Hypercolor Extreme Colors & Artistic Portrait Photographer: INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS
You don’t have to be a model to want a highly creative and artistic portrait. Individuals may want these types of shots as well to show off their own creative/artistic expression, or to simply capture vibrant portraits of themselves they have never seen before. I can dial in the amount of color and shadows for each session, so these artistic portraits can be extremely edgy, or more mild with a hint of color. The choice is yours.

Mike McGee is an amazing photographer! He is friendly and very easy to talk to. As someone who often hates taking pictures Mike makes any shoot painless and fun.At times I’m way too self conscious and choosy about which angles and sides work best and Mike is beyond accommodating. He’s got an arsenal of locations and pose ideas sure to flatter.Shoots with him are so relaxed and often over before you realize you’ve taken hundreds of photos. His edits are beautiful and sometimes even unnecessary; he’s so gifted at finding that golden natural light. He’s great in and out of the studio and always my number one choice for headshots and lifestyle pictures. It’s always such a treat to work with him, I know when I do I’m in for lots of laughs, smiles, and amazing photos.
