Michael Rodríguez Torrent is a photographer who approaches the world with a sense of wonder. Through his work, he seeks out the strangeness and beauty in everyday life. His process currently focuses on analog media including 35mm and medium format film – both color and black-and-white – and traditional darkroom printing.
After working for a number of years on a variety of feature films, TV series, and commercials as a camera assistant, Michael found himself drawn to the more contemplative nature of still photography. Prior to that, he worked as a software programmer, which resulted in a continuing appreciation for working away from a screen. Naturally, leading up to his career in coding, he earned a degree in theater from Arizona State University.
Michael’s work has appeared most recently at institutions such as the New Hampshire Art Association, Katzman Contemporary Projects, Wentworth-Gardner Historic House, the Griffin Museum of Photography, and Kimball Jenkins.
