Michael Burns is a Belfast-based photographer specialising in documentary and landscape photography across Northern Ireland and beyond. His portfolio demonstrates a distinctive approach that blends both analogue and digital mediums, capturing everything from urban street scenes to historic landmarks with equal expertise.
The business caters to those seeking authentic, artistic photography that goes beyond conventional digital work. Whether clients are interested in fine art prints, location-based documentation, or simply wish to commission photography that showcases Northern Ireland's character, Michael Burns delivers a considered, crafted approach to the medium.
What sets this practice apart is the deliberate choice to work across multiple formats—35mm black and white film, 35mm colour film, 120 medium format, and digital—allowing each project to be executed in the format best suited to its subject. This technical versatility, combined with a keen eye for composition and light, results in work with genuine depth and character.

The photographer's willingness to travel internationally—evidenced by his Paris series—demonstrates broader creative ambitions whilst maintaining strong roots in documenting his native region. This combination of technical skill, artistic vision, and location knowledge makes Michael Burns an appealing choice for clients seeking photography with substance.
