Michael Massaia

Central Park

Michael Massaia (b. 1978) lives in New Jersey and is producing outstanding photography, getting the attention of such people as British art critic Julian Spalding, "He is a profound, contemplative artist of our times." He uses a large format view camera and makes his own beautiful split-toned silver prints. Click here to go to an earlier interview and here to see an excellent video by Popular Photography. As stated earlier on his website, "Michael still believes that photography is an art form that is driven by equal parts technical prowess and artistic vision. The creation of an uncompromised handmade print in this modern, sterile digital age is, at its very least, a worthwhile endeavor." While he has a number of strong series, below our focus is on his beautiful, innovative Central Park work.
