Mike Schalk Photography
Cincinnati based Events and Headshot Photographer. I am a freelance photographer that specializes in event, band, and portrait photography.
I was born and raised in Cincinnati and passionate about this city. I’m looking for ways to make new connections and stay involved in the Cincinnati arts community. I enjoy the challenge of working in a fast-paced industry where I get the opportunity to meet new people and new experiences, spending my time learning new techniques, pushing myself to become a better photographer.

I'm part of this year's Fotofocus as a photographer working on a project called Backstories. This is an image I'm not exhibiting. I was shooting with a wide angle lens and monopod creating distorting angles and a surreal feeling. Please feel free to check out this free exhibition of Fotofocus.

Private party featuring Bronson Arroyo's band. The top of the fence in the photo is about 10ft from the ground so I used a monopod and put my camera on top to get this candid photo.

Taste of Cincinnati 2024. I documented Funny Water and people really liked having another beverage type. This is about 3% alcohol and is non-carbonated. You can find it locally at Kroger.
