Michael Berghela is a New York City based photographer specializing in fine art nudes. He is primarily self taught and constructs all sets and scenery himself in his Forest Hills studio. Michael was born in upstate New York. His upbringing took place in a very rural and pictorial setting very much influencing his work. This connection to nature whether it be of a literal or of a more abstract manifestation is clearly observable. The beauty, cruelty, and sometimes the comedy, of these created worlds are represented by Michael in a most special and unique way.
