Profile:
One of my favorite quotes is from author, Jonathan Swift - Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. That's how I try to photograph - capturing what might be overlooked and making it stand out for others to see.
Bio: Paul Michael Kane combines his extensive background in visual communication with traditional and alternative photographic processes utilizing the latest advances in digital media.
Exhibited internationally, his works have been purchased for numerous private and public collections. He’s won several "best-in-show" awards and continues to explore new technologies as the field of digital photography expands.
Published widely as a photographer, designer and a writer, Kane’s award winning photographic work has received 5-star ratings by Popular Photography’s blog site.
He was the sole contributing photographer for the highly acclaimed Konxari Cards (www.konxari.com), a popular paranormal card supplement.
In April 2009, Kane released his first book of photography entitled Captured: The Ruins of Eastern State Penitentiary. Kane not only contributed the images, but also designed the book and recorded an audio commentary to go along with the images.
Kane’s work is also featured in the July 2009 collaborative project, The White Album. The book, a visual tribute to The Beatles, showcases artwork inspired by songs and lyrics from the Fab Four. Kane’s contributions are the only photographic work featured in the book – among traditional artistic media. The book debuted to great success at ComicCon International, the biggest multimedia event of the year.
Late 2009 saw the release of Kane’s first ‘folio’ collection called Fort Mifflin: The Fort that Saved America.
In 2010, The Lakota Wolves folio came out and features - for the first time - Kane’s wildlife work. Kane photographed more than 2 dozen wolves for the book. Kane also released two more folios, including Final Destinations and the 1799 Lazaretto Quarantine Facility.
Additionally, his design work has graced the covers of several popular novels as well as a 30th anniversary Star Wars poster. Kane’s writing has appeared in such publications as Art Scene International and The International Writers Open Forum.
Kane draws his inspiration from multiple sources, from past mentors to new and upcoming talent. He has a tremendous web presence, taking advantage of many social networking sites, such as Facebook. He has two personal web sites, one featuring his photographic work – paulmichaelkane.com and the other focusing on his design work – pmkane.com.
Well respected as a proficient graphic designer and photographer, Kane has given lectures on both visual communication and fine art photography across the United States.
He is the very proud father of Peyton Marie, and blessed husband of over 11 years to his wife Heather Lyn. The happy family resides in the beautiful, and very photogenic, mountains of Northern New Jersey.
