I’m a photographer. I eat, sleep, breath, photography. I want to make images that take your breath away; I want to make pictures of places that have an emotional connection with people.

The greatest compliment I have ever had on my photography came from a colleague who said “I can’t tell if this photograph was taken 100 years ago or 100 seconds ago.” The greatest thrill I ever had was giving a photograph to someone who admired it and seeing their reaction. There is a saying that goes “Love what you do – do what you love.” Well I love photography.

I live on an island in the Pacific and I make my home on Qualicum Beach.

You can find me at Michael Van der Tol Photography and on my blog at Michael Van der Tol Photography Blog.
