My name is Michael Perkins. I am a Cincinnati-based photographer who’s also part writer, artist, and cultural archivist. My work is focused on the beauty, texture, and energy of the city and I am inspired by brands, bands, architecture, food, people, craft beers, and everything else the culture has to offer. Whether editorial, social media, or advertising, I am drawn to the inconspicuous and the overlooked. The less obvious unguarded beauty hiding in plain sight.

To keep body and soul together and the taxman from the door, I’ve gained my experience working at ad agencies, brand consulting firms, local internet radio, and doing product photography of everything from antiques and fine art to purses, shoes, and clothing for a locally based national online auction company.

My contact page is just one more click away. Drop me a note. I’d love to help with images and ideas.
