Steadfast Imaging
Michael E. Myers
Mike has been a passionate photographer for over 25 years. He graduated at the top of his class and won the Outstanding Portfolio Award at Antonelli Institute of Graphic Design & Photography.
Hired right out of school to manage a commercial studio, Mike focused on product and commercial photography. He then freelanced for several years, during which he continued to hone his craft, experiment with new techniques and develop his own style.
Steadfast Imaging was launched in 2017 with an emphasis on horticultural and fine art photography. The subsequent transition into decorative arts and cultural heritage photography has been a natural and rewarding one, as Mike has had long standing friendships and professional relationships with craftspeople and artisans such as blacksmiths, tinsmiths, potters, woodcarvers, furniture makers, and quilters.
Mike uses individualized lighting and imaging techniques to showcase unique details and create enduring images for print publications. His photographs have been featured in The Magazine ANTIQUES, Early American Life, George R. Anthonisen: Meditations on the Human Condition, Native Son: The Life and Art of David Ellinger, and Polly Apfelbaum: For the Love of Una Hale. He has also established partnerships with the Chipstone Foundation, Americana Insights, the Berman Museum of Art, and many authors, editors and private collectors.
Born and raised in culturally and historically significant Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Mike continues to reside in the Greater Philadelphia area with his wife and their two children. He also serves on the Board of Trustees for Historic Trappe, which houses the Center for Pennsylvania German Studies and preserves the homes of the Muhlenberg family.
