Michael Duckworth has always had a passion for photography, firmly rooted in his childhood spent exploring the wild landscapes of the Lake District where he grew up. It was this experience of awe and wonder of nature that would drive him to pursue art, photography and film at Manchester. Yet it was his subsequent move to London that would truly shape Michael’s vision, as he soon found himself spending every spare moment with friends, working as a Director of Photography on short films, music videos and a multitude of other passion projects.

It is clear that Michael’s work is inspired by his background in art and cinematography, each image evoking a sense of romance, but also the solitude and darkness of the city. His motivation is to create a cinematic atmosphere, allowing each viewer to immerse themselves in the captivating visuals and gain a glimpse into his world – one that is filled with mysterious stories, subtle emotions and vivid details. Michael's photographs are not simply snapshots; they are windows into a larger narrative, inviting us to explore and discover its many layers. Through his pictures, Michael wants to make us feel something, provoke us to think, and connect with the beauty of the city.
