Michael Krauss

“I believe the only constant in my work is its unpredictability. However, a slight hint of a theme may find its way –and it must be called “Depth”. The diversity from piece to piece allows for exploration within the layers of each image demanding one take more than a glance, or be satisfied with merely skimming the surface.

My varied background has provided me with a strong foundation, enabling constant growth for inspiration. Exploring photorealism is a guiding force. But, it is not a recreation of reality to which I aspire. I seek to create a journey, inviting anyone to join and examine their own experience.

I strive to be comparable to none, giving different languages to each piece, affecting each individual in a unique and unforgettable way.”


Michael Krauss thrives on creative challenge - both a photographer and broadcast designer, he finds inspiration from urban decay to scenic landscapes, from motion graphics to typography. His style is comparable to none - exceeding a client’s expectation and discovering new insight at all turns.

With a degree in graphic design, Michael headed off on his own to Vancouver where he owned and operated a corporate/industrial photography studio. After five years of enjoying much success, Michael returned to his home in Montreal to further his education, and put his design and photographic skills to use in the communications and entertainment industry. This led to the next phase in his journey, a prestigious position as Broadcast Designer, Department Head for CTV News in Toronto.

As most creative beings discover, constant challenge is a necessity. Michael’s talent and respected work ethic propelled him towards various opportunities with cutting edge companies where he landed positions such as, Art Director, Senior Designer, Producer and Creative Consultant.

Michael now works for himself, utilizing his diverse work experience, and has snagged a few Promax awards along the way. Combining design and photography make for exceptionally creative and provocative work.
