Michael Temchine Photography

For nearly twenty years I have turned my camera towards life-affirming moments. I have had the privilege of telling people's stories so that decades from now what once was will be again, through the power of photography. We don't have a time machine to return to when we were four and fascinated by a bay at the end of a winter day. We can't return to the day we kissed our best friend as as our spouse for the first time. What I love about photography is its ability to return us to that moment. In that photo the foot is always almost just touching the water, the kiss has not ended. Time has stopped. Your wedding, your mitzvah, your family portraits are not just jobs to me – they are your lives. And I live to tell that story.
