Michael Paul Bennett – Award-Winning Photography & Digital Art
Although Michael has always had a passion for art, he only began pursuing photography seriously when his son started a Bachelor of Photography degree. Together, they explored landscapes, local landmarks, and long-exposure night photography—laying the foundation for Michael’s distinctive style which you can learn more about in his and Seeress’ Top 10 Photography Tips.
When the COVID pandemic struck, Michael turned his focus to digital artwork, refining a unique technique to transform his photographs into striking, one-of-a-kind artworks. Whether capturing a fleeting moment in nature or crafting bold abstract edits, he approaches every creation with passion and precision.
Now, Michael is sharing his top 10 favorite works—each with a story, a memory, and a piece of his artistic journey.
