Discovering Creativity with Mike Poggoilo

Creativity through the lens of a photographer and psychologist

"Creativity for me now, with photography is trying to capture and appreciate beauty."

Mike Poggioli came to see photography as a serious creative outlet when he moved to Chicago in 2015 and became enamored by the beauty of the city’s architecture. He was particularly drawn to the L trains, experiencing every ride through The Loop, Chicago’s downtown center, as a complimentary architecture tour. Mike then took his newfound love for cityscapes with him to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he studied clinical psychology. It wasn’t until he began a clinical internship in Asheville, North Carolina, when he ventured into landscape photography. While there, Mike quickly discovered a passion for capturing the layers of Blue Ridge Mountains. He is currently based out of Asheville, NC. Mike likes to experiment with color, giving his photos pops of orange and dark blue, and is always looking for new ways to play with leading lines, harsh light and shadows, and depth in his compositions.
