Michael Donovan's work is hard to look away from. It's free, shocking, and vibrant—a true, informal art form. Donovan shoots with a sense of urgency. It's hard to imagine what happens during a shoot with models sobbing, laughing like crazy, tearing their clothes off, running away, screaming, dancing, and having a blast. It's like those "after-party" photos, when feelings are overflowing, all emotional floodgates are open, and it seems that only in these seconds can you fully experience life's pulse, syncing with its inexhaustible energy.

To understand Donovan, his mission in photography, and the message he's trying to convey, it's worth getting to know this strange, outwardly intimidating guy with his thick stubble, dark glasses, and sarcastic grin. A failed graphic designer and former stand-up comedian who, on the advice of a model girlfriend, picked up a camera. Having moved to New York from Oregon in 2008, he spent 15 months building a full-fledged portfolio. His life was heading in the wrong direction. Donovan slept in a trailer because he couldn't afford an apartment, lived hand-to-mouth, and got by on the odd handout from friends. All his energy and strength were focused on becoming a photographer.

Michael's work is simply impossible to take your eyes off—it's so free, quite shocking, yet so real and alive. Some call his photographs informal art, while others criticize them for being too candid. In fact, rumor has it that something unimaginable happens on Michael Donovan's sets. Typically, his models cry, rip their clothes off, scream, and dance, having a blast. Donovan himself calls his work a "message" he wants to convey to others.
