Profile and About Michael Crook

....................

"I capture the moments that other people miss- or aren't around for.
I strive to represent the side of my subject that is rare, attractive, and often very enlightening. This is particularly interesting when it comes to athletes. They often have a public image that is fairly expected, one-sided, and super-human. To bring out an unseen and more interesting side, can be very valuable- both to the fan and the athlete as far as broadening their image and accessibility."

Michael has a history of photographing fashion and music. Having honed her skills assisting some of the world's best photographers like Art Streiber, Michael Thompson, Norman Jean Roy, Tony Duran, Tesh and Carter Smith, she is now focusing on photographing worldwide pro sports from a unique and cinematic perspective. She spent time in Spain last season photographing Team Geox-TMC, Leopard Trek and Euskaltel Euskadi. She was hired by Milani Cycles to shoot in Italy and covers pro cycling in Europe for Peloton Magazine and CyclingFans.com. She is also a contributor to Corbis Images and is currently documenting in Africa for UNICEF.
In 2012, Michael plans to continue traveling the world and is always eager to get her hands dirty.

Michael is a cyclist, runner, train-hopper and espresso lover. She has also competed in several Olympic distance triathlons.
