Michael Sage Photography

I live in the Midwest and needed a photographer on the west coast. I found Michael on Houzz and hired him to shoot a hotel and a residence, not having ever seen either location in person. That made me a bit nervous because I couldn’t send an art director to the shoot and only had some scouting photos to go by. We provided him with as much art direction as we could on the pre-pro call and Michael assured us that he would shoot way more than we probably needed to provide us with as many images as possible. I was impressed with his confidence and professionalism, and, as promised, we had more than enough images to choose from that highlight our product beautifully. I have since hired him again to shoot our design gallery in Manhattan Beach. This location has extreme midday natural light that provided a challenge. Again, with no art director on set, he delivered beautiful work. Anne Schultz Cambria

I've worked with Michael Sage photography for the last 2 years and I've been extremely happy with the outcome of his work He has exceeded all expectations and is prompt with giving me the photos with all the touch ups if needed. He has always been very professional and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him to any of my fellow designers as he understands the needs of an interior designer.

As an architect I'm particularly concerned with how my buildings are seen and perceived by the viewer. Michael Sage understands what I need his images to do and his background as a fine art photographer means that his point of view is focused on creating powerful, beautifully composed images. Michael understands that a successful image is as much about what you leave out of the frame as it is what you leave in. It's easy to take a picture of everything in a room, but it takes real talent and understanding to make an image of what's important in that room. That's Michael's gift. He knows what's important, and how to convey that through his compelling images.
