Mike Lewis
I'm Mike, a photographer based in San Diego, CA. I've been making pictures since the early '80's. I specialize in making images in and around water: the majority of my work is focused on the sport of swimming.
I am fortunate to make images in the sport I love with some really fun and interesting people. I've been a competitive swimmer since the I was 10 and I still swim nearly every day. Undoubtedly, my time in the water has a huge influence on how my images are made. Regardless of the shoot, I strive to "see" rather than "look" for the shot. I view my work as a collaboration between me and those on the other side of the lens.
There's a lot more to the story, and because I'd rather talk than write, reach out if there's anything more you want to know.
