Mike's Monsters is a colossal creative adventure, showcasing the creatures from my beloved films that ignited my passion for photography during my formative years featuring the terrifying Xenomorph from ALIEN, the trophy hunting PREDATOR, and King of the Monsters, Godzilla.

A combination of photography mastery, education, and entertainment. Join me on my YouTube channel, where I unravel occasional photography insights, review iconic monster media and collectibles, and showcase my evolving skills since 2006, starting all with toy photography.

My artistic journey extends to Hollywood's special effect houses, including collaborations with studioADI, leading to working with industry giants like Studio Ghibli & Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles America. From 2022 to 2023, I proudly served as their Media Producer.

Mike's Monsters not only offers exclusive event experiences, from the world premiere of 'PREY' to the Hollywood premiere of TOHO's critically acclaimed 'Godzilla: Minus One' in 2023 but also invites you to explore my specialized Instagram, where I share the final photographic results of my productions.

My first subjects in front of the camera were the pieces in my collection. This passion project is a nostalgic nod to my childhood inspirations, allowing me to experiment with techniques on monster figures while seamlessly integrating them into my professional career.

One year ago today we attended the Hollywood red carpet premiere of #GodzillaMinusOne and it was a night I’ll never forget! The energy was incredible with so many friends and familiar faces at the event. I can’t believe it’s already been a year since Minus One was unleashed and took the world by storm!

ALIEN ROMULUS is now available for digital purchase or rent and is topping the charts! Be sure to check it out to see the incredible work behind the Xenomorph, brought to life by the talented @trevor_newlin inside the creature suit. I had a great time catching up with Trevor and talking about the process of making the film, along with his other monster work. Give him a follow for some awesome ALIEN ROMULUS behind-the-scenes content! I just had to snap this @polaroid of him along with a @necaofficial Big Chap. Cannot wait for the NECA Scorched Xenomorph to arrive in the near future!

A few snaps from the show floor at Son of Monsterpalooza last weekend in Burbank, CA! It’s always a pleasure to see all of the incredible pieces on display and catching up with old friends at this convention. Both Monsterpalooza and Son of Monsterpalooza are my favorite conventions to attend. If you are a monster fan and have never been, you seriously have to check out this show one day. Thank you to the @monsterpaloozaofficial team for having me! Can’t wait for the show next year!
