A primarily lens-based artist, Michele "Mike" Laurenza was first introduced to a 35mm rangefinder at 8 years of age around the turn of the millennium - when analog was first beginning to yield to digital. It would be the early 2010s before he came back to the slower, more thoughtful process by way of his grandfathers' family SLR, the iconic Pentax K1000. Mike began working in the film production industry in 2016 and continues to freelance in camera & electric on film sets today, in addition to the electrical trade.
