Michael Stewart is a photographer based in New York City, USA. His style blends editorial edge with emotional depth. The work is heavy with atmosphere, rich in tone and texture, and always intentional. He has a rare ability to capture people in a way that feels raw not overproduced or generic. His love for cross-cultural exchange makes his perspective global with a local intimacy that connects to a diverse audience. He is inspired by the raw emotion of sport, homeostasis, and honest expression. ^_^ In the past he has worked with the likes of Meta, On, Hoka, Citi Bike by Lyft, Porter Yoshida & Company and Footlocker.
