Michael Rung, a nature photographer based in Fort Worth, Texas, reflects on his path to becoming a full-time artist. Growing up in suburban St. Louis, Michael's early experiences with nature were rekindled later in life through photography. His passion took root during a business trip to Ireland in 2015, where capturing the scenic beauty sparked his love for landscape photography.
Since 2015, Michael's dedication to photography has deepened, with his work from 2019 onwards truly reflecting his evolving style. He adopted a more reactive, mindful approach to photography, focusing on capturing moments in nature without preconceived expectations. This method has greatly improved his work, allowing him to connect more deeply with his subjects.
In 2020, Michael began offering online photography presentations and launched a YouTube channel, focusing on Lightroom Classic tutorials and his creative process. By 2021, he expanded his business by investing in a professional large-format printer, enabling him to produce fine art nature prints with complete creative control. In 2022, he released his first limited-edition print folio, "Look for the Light."
Since leaving his corporate career in 2022, Michael has pursued photography full-time, offering services in the Dallas/Fort Worth area while continuing to share his work and insights through his website and newsletter.
We talk about the emotional side of photography, how he made the leap to full-time photography and much more!
