French-born photographer Michel Friang has been taking photographs all over the world for the past twenty years. Self-taught and trained, Michel first took interest in photography while on a trip to India in his late twenties. Captivated by the exotic colors and sights around him, Michel decided to create a photo essay of his trip. Now he has photo essays from many parts of the globe, including a series on spring festivals in Japan, tango dancing in Argentina, and various parades and celebrations throughout America.

Michel is currently based in New York, and when not traveling he works on a variety of projects which include interior design photography, lifestyle and portrait shoots, and runs his stock photo library. His work has been shown in various publications such as Time Life "Titanic" book, Travel Holiday Magazine, Diversion Magazine, World & I Magazine and Artful Home Magazine.

Occasionally Michel teaches portfolio photography at The New York School of Interior Design in Manhattan. Examples of his travel work, interiors, and stock photography are available online, or by contacting Michel directly.
