Michael Bang was born in a small village in january 1978. He grew up alone with his mom and dad, although he has two older sisters (and now also a younger brother). His father was a trained photographer, art lover, and a huge collector of books. Several thousand books and lots of litographs surrounded Michael when he was a child. His father often dragged him around to various artists, and that's probably why Michael today has a predilection for weird and unordinary existences. At the age of 10, Michael moved to another and much larger city with his mom, due to a divorce between his parents. Living alone with his mom wasn't all that bad - but 7 years later, when Michael was just 17, his mom died. From then on he lived alone. A couple of months after his moms death, Michael bought his first SLR camera. Since then, Michael has always been fascinated by the art of photography, and enjoys shooting almost anything! Michael now resides in Copenhagen, Denmark, and works as a full-time photograher. He is a member of The Danish Union of Journalists.

1st Assistant

Phillip Drago was born in the center of Copenhagen 1976. The name "Drago" originates from Eastern Europe. He has worked as an assistant for photographers such as Philip Elberling, Isaac Hoffmeyer, Jesper Jørgensen and last but definitely not least Leif Schiller, with whom he worked undtil Leif died in late 2007. In 2000 Leif Schiller received a Photographer of the Century Award by the Danish Photography Association. Now Phillip is Michaels number one pick when it comes to creating that special lighting, and as a creative and innovative sparring. Beside his huge involvement in photography, Phillip also attends The Art Academy of Fyn.

Agent

ARE YOU my new agent? I'm looking for an agent, who can represent me and my photos. You will have to be a very outgoing person, with the motivation to go the distance when it comes to selling my services. To begin with this position will not be full-time. I only expect you to spend about 10 hours a week, so the ideal candidate for this job is either an agent for several other photographers/artist already, or a student at a relevant education (marketing, sales etc...).

I expect that you after 2 - 3 months will earn around DKK. 8 - 12.000,- per month. Maybe more, but that depends on how much time and efford you put in to it. I will equip you with business cards and a mobile phone. You will have to have a pc/mac and internet acces yourself. You will work from you own home but in close contact with me on a daily basis. Interested? Questions? Mail me at info@michaelbang.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!
