Michael Le GuellecArtist's Statement
Nature and music where always at the core of Michael’s creative being with Music dominating his interest in 80’s and 90’s into a career as professional jazz / rock drummer in Los Angeles. Michael’s also tested the waters of entrepreneurial corporate America and developed a career as a talented futures and stock trader. In the process he inadvertently took several companies public and was hired as a corporate consultant. Two years later Michael started his own firm Corporate Alliance Network LLC, an Investor Relations Consulting firm to publicly traded companies in North America. Every business trip included a multi-day photo trek in the seclusion of the nearest forest dessert or ocean, or a corporate photo shoot for company publications. It wasn’t long until he realized fulfillment through photography alone. His passion for creating images for himself and others left no room for corporate rat race.
In 2000 while vacationing in Montana Michael met National Geographic photographers Rick Sammon and Darrell Guillion who soon became his mentors and enabled his dream into professional photography. Printing became an obsession in pursuit of perfection, which completed the circle of having total artistic control.
While on a guided fishing trip a few months later in Dunsmuir, CA he unexpectedly and immediately found home, the foothills of Mt. Shasta. He relocated his family to Dunsmuir and took a job as a photo editor for The Mt. Shasta Herald and is credited for converting the paper’s photography based production to a digital photography format. Michael spent the next two years as a reporter, staff photographer, and photo editor while developing his craft as a fine art photographer and printer in his spare time.
In 2007 Michael met the creative talents of Nickki Lee Hill, a professional Fine Art photographer and Graphic designer whom together formed Studio Baconthorp, which is dedicated to exploring the limitless creativity of photography, Fine Art Imagery and printing.
“My photography allows me to connect with people, nature, places and subjects in a way that would otherwise be impossible. Fine Art Printing provides me with the opportunity and challenge of pushing and redefining the limits of the craft. It’s a rare and honorable way that actually allows me to become part of the artist’s interpretation, and together we seek perfection.”
“I’m living the dream of having my creativity fulfilled and challenged everyday and Know exactly where I belong – creating images and helping artists translate their art into imagery to share with others.”
