Michael Massaia is an incredibly productive, young, self-taught, technically impressive photographer. He doesn't look like a stalker, he isn't creepy, but he does sneak about a lot in the wee hours in places he probably ought not. Obviously Michael works with large format cameras; there is no trickery, just patience and masterful film processing and printing techniques. Michael describes his images as one-shot scenes that have been pushed to their limit. He talks about developing with Pyro allowing for huge, grainless prints that he makes himself. 

Michael has already been on the walls at AIPAD so I suspect all he needs to continue on this stellar path is a few more hours in the day (or night). At Gallery 270 in New Jersey, they reckon he eats only occasionally and may sleep just two or three hours every other day...
