Michael Doven’s photography graces my office and home, along side Edwin Weston, Ansel Adams and Roman Loranc. His compositions and captures of light are second to none. He is today to photography what Brunello Cucinelli is to fashion. MW

"His work contains a unique message, a simple communication of utter beauty.’

‘Michael Doven circumnavigates the planet with his camera and shows us a universe filled with unparalleled wonder. His portfolio is remarkably diverse: spectacular cloud formations, dramatic cityscapes and seascapes, an image of an ancient site, a distant terrain. Sometimes he captures the strength and fortitude of magnificent trees, verdant or silver-white, laden with glittering snow or simply reflected in a vista of clear water; on another occasion, the ephemeral forms of women dancing to the rhythm of the tide.

‘Michael is a rare photographer; his stunning images are a celebration of both the essence of life and the infinite variety of our planet. His work contains a unique message, a simple communication of utter beauty.’ Gillian Greenwood, Senior Features Editor, Nikon Owner Magazine.

"This larger than life piece of art represents everything our family embodies."

"We have had two of Michael Doven's landscapes hanging in our home for years and they always receive complements.

We decided to commission Michael to photograph one of our favorite iconic landscape locations and what we received was beyond my expectations! This larger than life piece of art represents everything our family embodies. The quality of the finished piece was spectacular as Michael helped us make the decisions that I am not as good at like ideal size for my home and what style of framing, printing and lighting will showcase this timeless and personal masterpiece."

"I love this photograph! It is been one of my great privileges to have known Michael for a number of years and I always look forward to seeing him. Bravo Michael! You join the ranks of the world’s greatest photographers and you are a huge example of artistic brilliance and a constant inspiration to me."

"One of the great benefits of my lengthy career in photography is that almost every day I get the opportunity to see dozens of stunning images. In addition I have been fortunate to have worked with and got to know some of the world’s greatest photographers.
Their extraordinary library of images communicate some of the optimism, magic and joy of life, all captured by the click of a camera’s shutter button. In much the same way as music is able to cross through every language barrier so too does a photograph. A case in point is an image that is displayed on one of the walls in my company in central London. It is Michael Doven’s spectacular fine art aerial photograph of Central Park, New York City.
It is one of a limited number of only five copies signed and numbered by Michael. It was taken from a helicopter which would have been challenging enough. Finding just the right moment, and having to contend with the noise, the vibrations and movements during that flight – somehow he nailed it. This large, extraordinary photograph has created so many conversations in the company over the years. It forms a part of his full body of work ­­– which hammers home the sheer abundance of beauty that exists on our planet."

Micheal is such a fantastic artist. We love our piece! When we bought it, Michael delivered it himself and helped us find the perfect spot in the house to hang it. I was initially worried that where I wanted to place it would get too much light and eventually fade the photos, but Michael reassured me that wouldn’t happen and he was right! 15 years later and it’s still as beautiful as the day we first saw it. - KM
