Seewald's Photography Workshops

09/13/2026

So nice to be back in the saddle again teaching folks how to make very strong photographic art pieces. By the end of day two these folks know more about creating strong art than 95% of Artist already out there trying. Don’t believe me? Ask for a testimony from anybody on our website. Our next fall class will be in Yosemite, November 6th, 7th and 8th. We still have space! ciao

"...The sign of a true master is that he makes the path very simple. When the student is struggling he knows exactly when to let them struggle (only to discover something on their own) and when to intervene (and show them something new that they have not noticed). Michael is a true master of the art in this sense. He knows how far to push people to think on their own and when to provide that masterly intervention. ..."

Grand MasterChef JoJo came in a couple of days ago with his lovely bride Brandy and fell in love with a lot of Seewald artwork. He cooks for very high-end clients all over the world, working out of Temecula and Las Vegas. Thanks for stopping in you two, hope to see you again soon.

Well, I’ve narrowed down my Liguria series (Northwest Italy) to about 70 award-winning images, thats what I would say anyway. ;/) My first sponsor of this series, Dr. Charles Cantor of La Jolla, has pre-purchased a 40 x 50“ for his living room. He has 45 of my images already, and this is gonna be a tough choice for him, adding #46 to his collection. But that’s my job, isn’t it? Thank you, Lord!

These two fine Marines came into the gallery today, and lo and behold they were surprised to find out we bless them for their service with free Seewald art of choice. If you'd like to help, here's our GoFundMe acct. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-michael-seewalds-art-for-marines

Most of the folks following me realize I do both photographic art and painting. Started actually as a painter as a kid. Won my first award at 13 in painting, and then my first national award in photography at 19!

Well, kept staring at this piece and realized the white border, now painted mostly red, didn’t work so well being white. After adding the red, I added green lines to complement the red. Now I think she’s finished for sure. It’s a 4 x 5‘ acrylic on canvas entitled Controlled chaos. It was $8800 but when it’s wet, I only ask $1900, a ‘still wet painting special’. Two days from now it’ll return back to the $8800 price.  A couple of detailed shots are included here.
