ABOUT MICHAËL

Freelance photographer

I’m Michaël Gramm, a freelance photographer available worldwide. For nearly twenty years, I’ve photographed St Barts — Saint-Barthélemy in the French Caribbean — alongside hospitality, gastronomy, sailing and editorial assignments.

My work moves between commissioned projects and personal exploration. I’m drawn to atmosphere, light and the details that give a place or a person their character.

My Fine Art work, including Black & Wild, explores silence, texture and emotion through black-and-white photography.
