About the Photographers

Michael Sloyer

Michael is a curious soul traveling the globe in search of a common human spark. Through the lens of a camera, he explores the meaning of human life and how it fits into the broader fabric of existence. Photography is his cropping tool for the world and a way to rediscover the beauty in the minute and the mundane. Michael’s photography and writings have been featured on a variety of travel blogs and websites, including the Huffington Post. His Cuban photography has been featured in NYC restaurants and as cover artwork for a Spanish blues album. He is the author and editor of three photography books in which he explores the art form as a means of human connection. Michael grew up in New York and received a degree from Duke University. Before transitioning over to executive coaching and leadership development, he had worked 11 years at Goldman Sachs, most recently as a Managing Director in Asia. Michael continues to travel the world in his search for the perfect visual moment. He calls both Tokyo and New York his home.
