About the Artist

Michael Northrup (b. 1948) is a Baltimore, Maryland-based photographer. His photographs offer a flash-illuminated, ironic, and humorous view of daily life in America through spontaneous images that capture the everyday. For Michael, creating images is all about his daily life, and the meaningful pictures that can be extracted and reflect the personal vision he brings to those visual narratives. Whatever the subject, from a tire fire, a dog eclipsed by a dandelion, or a ghostly figure ambushing a lawn ornament, Michael’s photographs are imbued with light, mystery, and an off-kilter beauty.
