Quote
"Photography is a technical art form. Be it film and silver paper, or pixels and digital archival prints, there are sufficient physics, optics and chemistry to blur the lines between art and science.
But photography at its most basic is about light. Light is my medium. It is my paint, my clay, my marble, my pen and ink. It is my creative and expressive tool for communication.
For the better part of fifty years I have attempted to understand light. It has been a life-long fascination that I don’t expect to end anytime soon. "
Furman-Michael's Signature

Michael Furman

Michael Furman has had the unique pleasure of photographing the world’s most significant cars.  From the earliest “conveyances” to cars that foretell the future, Michael has created portraits that insightfully express his subject’s historical and aesthetic importance. 

A key element to Michael’s style is to present the car from the perspective of the designers and engineers who created the car; their thoughts, their motivations, and the social and political context in which they worked.  His approach has been graciously embraced by major collectors, museums and concours events around the world.

For most photographers, studio car photography would be a daunting task.  Automobiles are large, highly reflective objects that present a myriad of technical photographic issues – and countless opportunities for visual excitement.  Throughout his many years, Michael has found limitless possibilities to relate the many facets of automotive experience to his audience, and most importantly, inspire the next generation of automotive enthusiasts to continue this appreciation and respect.
