A man of few words and vast talent, Mike Maca’s work speaks for him. To shoot the Maca Studio, I focused both on Mike’s art, and the gritty turn-of-the-century equipment he used to create it. Together, those ideas danced as one, revealing something old and deep and cool.

… Shooting Mike himself wasn’t any easier. He’s a humble guy who didn’t really want his picture taken. But limits can be liberating—and in the minute he gave me, thankfully, I shot gold.
