ABOUT MICHAEL CARONCHI

My love of photography started with a sixth-grade class trip to Washington, DC. Sister Mary Rebecca requested copies of the photos I took during our travels which lit a spark in me. This love of imagery, passion for good design, and my technical approach align to produce unique and stunning photographs for my clients.

Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, Michael’s career began on the golf course. He worked for his golf pro father, cruising around capturing group photos at the first tee, action shots and event photos for outings. He graduated from St. Ignatius High School and continued his education at John Carrol University where he studied mathematics and art history. From there, Michael moved to Boston to study and practice architecture at a firm in Cambridge before launching his own professional design and photography business.

For more than 20 years, Michael’s easy-going nature, adaptability, dependability, and professionalism have been the foundation upon which his business has been built. Whether you are a business owner, chef, restaurateur, marketing team, architect, or designer, he understands that your photos need to tell a story. He personalizes the process for each client to ensure that the end goal – bringing a vision to light – is reached. He excels in highly detailed photography that requires excellent lighting, technique, editing and post processing. His specialties include architecture, creative food and restaurant shoots, events, portraits, and editorial photography.
