20 plus year, Multi Published, Active Accredited Member of International Press Corp and Professional Media Photographers. I'm the Primary Partner and Started the Company, I'm Michael Massaro and my Main Partner in E.O.T.B.S is Earl Marriner, now my Business Partner, but friend and Brother but no actual relation of nearly 30 years

I Specialize in Glamour, Fashion and Photojournalism. Earl does more of the Outdoor/Landscape End of the business

And I'm doing all of this with two Major Physical Handicaps. I have a 24 year old Neck and Spinal Injury, from 2 separate accidents, the 1st - 4th discs from my tailbone up are crumbled and all broken up and the same situation for 2 discs in my neck, and as if this wasn't a cruel enough joke last July I had Quadruple Bypass open heart surgery, Apparently last July I hit my 5year/ 100,000 mile routine Maintenance and needed a tune up and an oil change....However I'm still here and going maybe just a wee bit slower then before lol

I'm also a Total purist when it comes to my work, you will Hardly Ever see a Manipulated photo from me. I never had Any formal schooling for my photography, Any and All Technical knowledge was taught to me when I was 14 years old by 3 very experienced working pro photographers who were all friends of a friend, of a friend lol you get the point, that had been shown photos I had taken, saw the potential of the photos I could produce, if I had the technical knowledge to back up my natural eye for composing a great shot at such an early age and with no formal training, that the 3 of them took time out of their busy work schedules to teach me lighting, composition, etc.

My most recent credits include:

Manhattan Kansas Movie Launch Premiere Party, a Danny Provenzano film
