Michael Erard - VHT Studios

Michael Erard has been a professional photographer for 10 years, making the leap and being able to turn his hobby into a lucrative career. He believes that since photography is first of all his passion, instead of a mere job, that is a plus quality which his customers appreciate, and he genuinely cares about producing excellent work for them. Michael was born and raised in France and he's always been fascinated by Photography – a discipline which comes naturally to him from his artistic family composed of a well-known pastel artist and a sculptor. His uncle, an amateur photographer, initiated Michael's interest, and his unadulterated love of the art has been growing ever since. He is simply fascinated with capturing light and everything else in its path, in order to create a connection between the subject and the viewer. Ansel Adams said, “A good Photograph is knowing where to stand”, and Michael has found this to be most true in Real-Estate/Architectural Photography. Michael earned a degree in Industrial Science and Technology, but decided to pursue his love for Photography in Florida instead. He has been shooting Architectural, Portraiture, and Product Photography over the past 15 years and it has been very gratifying! His affinity for landscape and portrait photography has awarded Michael published work in several books and his collaboration with VHT Studios (the architectural photography) has led to his photographs being published in magazines “Orlando Homes + Garden,” “Land and Homes,” and others. It is not an understatement that Michael truly lives for photography. He has resided in the U.S. for around 16 years and is fluent in French and English. His home base is the East coast of Florida, aka the Space Coast, and the Orlando area. On his own time, he’s constantly looking for beautiful landscape and scenery during the day, and actively photographing the starry skies at night.
