Fine art photography prints by Michael Rudin. Beach, Surf, Costal and forest photography. Rockaway Beach, Fort Tilden, New York, Herriman Park and the North West photos.

I am a commercial photographer currently based in Rockaway Beach, New York, with my wife Shannon and our menagerie of animals. I studied at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. Ever since the purchase of his first camera at 16, a Pentax K 1000, He has been using the lens as a vehicle to explore and experience the people and places around him.

Upon moving to NYC I assisted many esteemed photographers including Steven Klein and Matt Hranek. He considered these opportunities and experiences the equivalent of getting a masters in photography.

Currently, my assignments allow him to travel here and there and taste the local culture (literally). I eat their food, drink their beer with them and seamlessly envelopes their native customs. my subjects have a broad range, from factory workers in upstate New York to fishmongers in Zanzibar.
