Michael Abid is a professional travel photographer from Germany, specializing in cityscape, landscape, architecture, and drone photography across the globe. Born in Ukraine and later relocating to Germany, he studied engineering and worked as a software engineer in the automotive industry. Although photography was always a passion, it wasn't until 2011, when he acquired his first DSLR camera, that he truly discovered his love for it. Since 2013, Michael has worked part-time as a travel photographer, capturing stunning images in iconic locations across Europe and beyond, while refining his skills and editing style. In 2022, he transitioned to full-time photography, dedicating himself entirely to his craft.
In his photography, Michael strives to capture well-known locations in unique lighting or weather conditions, often employing advanced shooting and post-processing techniques like manual exposure and time blending. He is particularly drawn to the moments when natural and artificial light blend perfectly, creating dramatic cityscape imagery, which is why he loves capturing urban scenes. Michael has been a dedicated Nikon user since the start, beginning with a Nikon D3100 in 2011 and now working with full-frame Nikon cameras for most of his projects. Since 2020, he has also embraced drone photography, with a significant portion of his recent work shot from the sky.
