Bio:
Micheal Lerch is a serious photographic amateur and has been interested in photography since the 3rd grade when his father gave him a Kodak Brownie to work on a cub scout merit badge. He began developing his own film and making contact prints, and in high school was a yearbook photographer working in the darkroom, dodging, burning and enlarging images. In the early 90’s he bought his first digital camera and editing software and really upped his photography game. He is a “techie” who enjoys learning new techniques such as time lapse, night photography, stacked focus, macro photography, and composite photo’s as well as increasing his skill and knowledge of digital editing. He is a member of the Roswell Photographic Society, the A2D Photography Group and The Booth Photography Guild. His photographic technical and compositional skills have been sharpened and expanded by the many fine professional and amateur photographers in these organizations.
