His style is so unique, one feels exhilaration from peering into his mind's eye. I have never before been so captivated by a style of photography as I am by this collection of images.

............'In my 30 years in this business, I have never seen such emotion captured in one image. It inspires the same feelings as when viewing a Degas or Renoir. Michael Campbell is an Artist who paints with a camera.
Ken Whitmire, National Print Judge for Professional Photographers of America........
..............'This is the first new and exciting idea I have seen in photography in fifteen years of print judging. All of his prints would score in the high nineties in National competition. An extraordinary and unique achievement. Some of his portraits remind one of Norman Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post Covers, others have the qualities of the great master paintings of the 17th and 18th century in Europe. I believe Michael Campbell has really developed a new and very beautiful style of portraiture'.
Cushman Dow, President of San Diego Chamber of Commerce.
