Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Michael Sugrue grew up exploring his creative side through art and was formally introduced to photography while a student and a member of the men's swimming team at the University of Texas. From there, his talent as a commercial photographer has allowed him to work with clients like Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Microsoft, and Visa. It was while shooting for Visa that the challenge of transforming his unique vision into live action emerged. Michael dove head first into mastering film and focused on creating content using multiple media with a singular narrative. Since then, his beautifully observed documentary style has allowed him to create stunning and sensorial ads for brands such as Nike, Visa and Gatorade. He is currently based between London and San Francisco.
