Hi, I’m Miguel, the photographer behind GoodnRich Photography. Born and raised in Germany, I moved to the United States in 2007 after graduating high school.
Creativity has always been a huge part of my life. Long before photography became my profession, I was constantly taking photos with disposable cameras, Polaroids, and anything else I could get my hands on.
Everything changed when my younger sister let me use her Canon 5D Mark II around the house. From that moment on, I knew photography was what I wanted to pursue seriously. More than 10 years later, I still love picking up a camera just as much as I did back then.
Over the years I have worked as a Head Director of Photography for a multi million dollar company where I directed campaigns, planned shoots, worked with influencers, scouted locations, and created visual content for large brands.
My work has taken me from studio product photography to photographing in the mountains, out on the ocean, at NASCAR events, and alongside people with incredible stories to tell. That experience taught me how to adapt quickly, work under pressure, and create strong imagery in almost any environment. My style is clean, sharp, cinematic, and story driven.
Whether I am using beautiful natural light or studio strobes, my goal is always the same which is creating photographs that feel real, intentional, and timeless.
Outside of photography I have always been drawn to creativity in all forms including art, design, illustration, and music production.
Those influences shape the way I see light, color, emotion, and storytelling through my work today.
I am also a huge dog lover. My dogs Bruno, Margot, and Petra are a big part of my life, which is probably why I love photographing pets just as much as people. To me, photography is about holding onto moments before they fade.
A single image can preserve a feeling, a memory, or a season of life in a way words sometimes cannot. That is what makes photography so meaningful to me and why I still love doing this after all these years.
LET'S CREATE SOMETHING.
