Michael Morton is a native Texan, born and raised in Houston. He called the Hill Country home a few of his grade school years and while at college. Now he resides with his family on the Katy Prairie. Aside from living in some vastly different areas of Texas, Michael has hunted, fished, camped, hiked, climbed, and biked the state from corner to corner. You might say he knows Texas like the back of his hand. This is apparent in the variety of images he has gathered from across the state.

     Michael attended undergraduate school at Southwest Texas State University and graduate school at University of Houston-Clear Lake. After an unsatisfying career in hospital administration, he finally listened to that little voice inside and enrolled in the Photography program at the Art Institute of Houston. There, he received a Merit Scholarship and graduated with honors.

     After graduation, Michael quickly became successful in commercial photography but he still wasn't doing what he had set out to do. The images on this website are examples of Michael Morton's true passion, nature and wildlife photography. And he is happy to create all of his work in one of the finest studios on earth, the great state of Texas!
