Rachael Michelle
Photography – Gold Coast
Rachael Michelle picked up her first camera at the age of 11, with a natural eye and a thirst for a new creative outlet she immediately picked up an interest for the art form.
As the years went on Rachael gradually upgraded her camera gear; with each birthday and christmas she would receive a new lens, tripod or some sort of camera accessory, advancing her skills and increasing image quality.
Rachael has completed a Diploma of Photo Imaging at the Academy of Design, over the years her photos made it into countless online magazines, The Gold Coast Bulletin and also in major competition finals - including the 2012 Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize.
After winning the 2012 Olympus “Out of the Ordinary” competition Rachael gratefully used the $5000 prize money on the camera equipment she uses today.
