Hello,

To anyone visiting this page / website, Thank you!

My name is Michael Grattaroti. I’ve been shooting since 2007 but started down the paid / professional route around 2010. My younger years were full of learning, trial and error, fails and success’s as well as hearing different opinions from every direction about my choices. I have always listened to what I felt was the right direction for me!

I take pride in capturing moments that can't be made possible again. The idea of being able to hold a moment in your hand forever, and relive them over and over within your mind is almost magical. Pictures can say 1,000 words and can also bring about 1,000,000,000 emotions. Times of our, and our loved ones lives that we can look back on or show our children when they are old enough to understand the moments they had lived.

Events and weddings are two of my comfort zones! I love being able to interact with others, pump up crowds and give suggestions on the move for that “Perfect Shot” or just blend in and disappear in plain sight when needed. These occasions and events never get old, and always keep me figuring out new ways & styles to make my craft more advanced with the ever changing times and industries!

Being based out of Massachusetts is a nice treat, being able to see the seasons change the environment really makes for some good longs days of shooting around and plenty of different sceneries from woods, to mountains, to urban streets and cities. I have more recently been shooting across the country and covering bigger events which has helped in my confidence level of what I am able to handle under different kind of stress or difficulties. I am always open to meeting and finding new clients that may need regular work, or more in depth projects they would like to handle and see come to life! Covering peoples professions such as fitness lifestyles and artists at their daily crafts has always been something I have been able to capture well and one of my favorite ways to help tell their (Your) stories. Product shooting has also been a more recent practice that I have seem to come into my own with, macro details and sharp vivid colors for small objects that may be under appreciated until seen at a life size composition, Then, WOW!

I thank you again for being here, and I hope this space can keep you entertained and keep you coming back.

Michael Grattaroti.
