Born and raised on African soil, Michelly’s fascination with Africa’s untamed splendor became a lifelong obsession.
In the endless pursuit of wild wonders photography unravelled avenues of exploration that boyhood dreams are made of.
Decades later collaboration with Getty Images facilitated his reportage work distributed worldwide to prestigious outlets.
From cultural celebrities in music and fashion to political portraits, brief and fleeting moments recording the world and the events that shape it.
Michelly’s current work continues his passion for the world untainted by man’s hand and strives to showcase the extraordinary & interconnected threads of all living things, a world of infinite intelligence impacting, informing and reflecting the essence of who we truly are.
The underlying message inherent in our philosophy, imagery and site undertone is to inspire to protect and conserve – valuing the natural world not as a commodity to be plundered but appreciating it as a living breathing entity to be valued and nurtured.
A portion of the proceeds from each image is donated to The Silverbird Foundation – a not for profit organization that identifies projects, communities and conservation efforts that need direct interventions to ensure their future sustainability.
The art of nature is a way of perceiving and interpreting our natural wonders as miracles of infinite majesty and beauty. Images of these vast tapestries communicate to our deepest and most archaic selves and raise the voices of the unheard in profound and meaningful ways. By introducing this art that speaks into our collector’s spaces we strive to promote natures balance and harmony.
