Mike, behind the camera.
Mike Archibald picked up a camera as a kid — his grandfather Harry's old Nikon — and it stuck after his mother quietly entered him in a local photo competition he didn't know about, and he won. A standout creative talent in high school earned him mentorships through the University of Wisconsin, and he's been building ichimichael Photography ever since: “Best Male Portrait,” Guru's, 2018, and the “Art of Photography” award, 2020. Based in Wisconsin but not limited to it — Mike travels statewide and beyond for the right shoot. This is a family effort — sons Aiden and Kaleb pitch in on shoots, and Olivia H. handles hair and makeup for corporate work.
"ichi" means "the number one" in Japanese.
