ABOUT
Michael Couture, CPP
Creative Consultant
I'm passionate about the creative process! I started in music production and moved to video editing where most of my work is still done. I restore archival and contemporary photographs and create 3D motion renderings of photographs.
I'm a photographer and watercolor artist as well.
