About
I would like to introduce myself, I am Mike Moats, an award winning, professional Nature Photographer from Sterling Heights, Michigan. I started shooting as a hobby in 2001 and it quickly grew into a full time business. To date I’ve had articles and images published in, Outdoor Photographer Magazine, Natures Best Magazine, Nature Photographer Magazine, Photolife, Whisper In The Woods,Michigan Game Finder, NANPA’s Expressions Books, Pure Michigan Book, Fujifilms Newsletter (Cable Release) and Tamron’s “Angle of View” Blog. I’m proud to have won numerous local and international awards, and in 2006 was asked to join the Fuji Pro Talent Team and in 2009 was added to the Tamron Lenses website as one of their ”Macro Masters”. In 2006 I started offering Close-Up/Macro Photography Workshops. My first book was released in October 2008 and is called Tiny Landscapes. This book is a how-to book for macro photography in nature. Its sold at www.MikeMoatsBooks.com or on Amazon (due a search for Tiny Landscapes). I am now offering personal one on one online macro workshops, and have released two E-Books called “Running A Successful Nature Photography Business” and “Macro Workshop E-Book”, see more details at www.MikeMoatsBooks.com.

You’re work is amazing! Its truly inspiring to see how quickly you gain experience and recognition which was well deserved. Its nice to find other Michigan Photographers since i currently live in East Lansing!
Thanks Allison, its been a lot of fun so far.
Hey mate I love your photography, its a hobby of mine aswell, im no where near as good as you though
obviously, since I have only been into it for about a year! Keep up the good work, I think your work is very unique and it inspires me.
Hello from Scotland!
Hey Mike, Your pictures are absolutely stunning. I am totally awed by them and you’ve inspired me inspired me to take it up again. I am 54 years young and did photography in my 20’s. When I was cleaning my closet the other day I ran across my old (broken) Cannon AE-1. Now we are in the digital age!!! What kind of camera do you use? Sending you warm greetings from sunny San Jose, California! Peggy
Thanks Peggy, I use a Fuji S5 Pro camera and most all of my images are shot with a Sigma 180 macro.
Hi Mike,
I saw the picture you took of the tulip. I thought it was beatiful. Your work if outstanding. I was into photography for almost 3 years already. The best thing about my hobbie was when i saw one of your photo’s and ever sense that day i saved money to buy myself the Canon EOS Pro. I am only 14 very young for my age to be intrested into the work you do. i would be really happy if my idol would back. Well i have to go. Warm greetings Mike from Batesburg, South Carolina.

I love your pictures, they really show the beauty of these flowers. I do have a camera, but I’m not good enough to call it a proper hobby jet.
Thanks, tenar72 the more you work at your skills with the camera, and learning to see the art in nature, the better you’ll get.
awesome! i cant believe there are photos
loved the fall colors and spider webs.
of late, i have been very keen about photography; just gathering the basics
my last two blog posts were about photography. (in fact the last one was about macros) i’ve some pictures too. after seeing yours am not too sure if i have got the concept right. do visit my blog sometime, take a lot and please let me know

Just came across your site–love your tide pool photos–such great color and definition.
Will enjoy visiting back here often, as I am becoming more involved with nature photography myself and appreciate your work and advice.
There is so much beauty here please make it easy for others worldwide to purchase the art.
Jere
Thanks Jere, I do send my work out internationally, but you need to contact me for cost of shipping, which is the big problem in some cases.
