"The single most important component
of a camera is the twelve inches behind it." Ansel Adams

What makes these images different from other beautiful photography is not merely Michael Schneider’s mastery of digital photography, lighting, lenses, computers, and printing, although he is among the best. There’s an evocative quality that permeates each image and calls the viewer closer to see with new eyes the beauty of the natural world. This is a result of Michael combining his talent for photography with his gift for healing. His intention is to connect the viewer with the world that exists beyond the visible, if only for a moment, which will restore a feeling of balance and harmony.

His goal is to create unique imagery for hospitals, corporate settings, and other institutions that will enhance the environment and facilitate the process of healing. To view the images that Michael sees as being instrumental in this process, please visit the Nature Gallery.
