Michael McDermott's photo journalistic roots landed him early successes and led him to an impressive career in advertising and editorial work.

McDermott is part of the emerging hybrid Director/DP/photographers that have crossed over from shooting stills to motion, utilizing the same creative eye for composition, color and light.

McDermott works fast, smart and creatively in all environments with an intelligent, sensitive approach to his subjects.  He captures compassionate images while working within the circumstances of special moments without being intrusive.

He is a creative collaborator, an artist, but a pragmatic artist. He knows where his vision fits into the client’s communication objectives.

He understands the process, from start to finish.

What sets McDermott apart is that he doesn’t just capture photos and video, he captures stories- visually.
