Michael Muller – master of movie posters

If I had a long lost father who turned out to be a famous photographer, this guy would be him - Michael Muller is the man behind some of the most awesome movie posters in newer history.

Iron Man? He did it. Wolverine? He did it. Fantastic four? Crappy movie(s), but he still did an awesome job with the poster.

I've already said too much - there's nothing left to do but check out his portfolio of awesomeness right HERE

Interview with Photographers – Michael Bang

Once again, I've had the pleasure of having one of the successful photographers here in Denmark, to answer some questions about their life as photographers. Michael Bang, celebrity photographer, video photographer and creator of the continously growing event Copenhagen Photomeetup,

has taken the time to answer the questions, I posed to him not long ago. Here's what he said:

Is this the dream? Are you living it and has it always been photography?

Yes! This IS the dream! But to be honest - no. It has not always been photography. When other children wanted to be a fireman or a policeman, I wanted to be a stockbroker. Even went as far as to get a job in a bank, but soon learned that it was not for me. My father is a trained photographer, so I guess the inevitable happened to me in the end.

How did you get to where you are today?

HARD WORK! I have never worked as many hours as I do today. But, still having fun and enjoying my life more than ever!

What is the single most important photo you’ve taken?

My newest one.

As the Danish rapper Jokeren once said: "You are never better than your latest album!". I constantly have to keep on shooting top quality pictures, or I lose my customers in a heartbeat.

What part of what you do makes you get up in the morning? What motivates you?

Creating something that will last forever, and making people (my customers) happy. I just love the feeling when a customer writes me an email, telling me that they love the work I've done for them. Gives me a huge rush!

What would be worst body part to lose this very instant?

The first thing that came to mind when I read this question was my d*ck. Hahaha...

If I should rationalize over it a bit, it might be worse to lose something else. But right now I can't think of anything worse.

And if that happened, what would you do then?

Hmmm... Didn't see this question coming! Hahaha...

Maybe I should've read all the questions first, and THEN answered.

What has been the hardest trial in your getting to where you are today?

Manage to keep in touch with my friends. When I started out as a photographer, I worked all the time - day and night, 7 days a week. Said no to a ton of invites, and my social life went down the drain. I have fixed it now though, and I've found a healthy balance between work and my private life.

What is the strongest advice you could give young aspiring photographers?

Keep shooting! And shoot A LOT! Update your website frequently, tell your network that you're alive and kicking, and ready to face new assignments. Never never never give up, and don't take critique from photographers whose pictures you're not a fan of. Why should you? But listen to critique when it's in it's place, and when constructive. Learn. Evolve. Never stop working on your techniques. And, very important, be happy with what you're shooting!
