I am a recent graduate of the Computer Engineering program at the University of Waterloo, in Waterloo Ontario Canada. I picked up photography just before coming to university when I bought a Canon Digital rebel XT. I am learning all the time and use photography as a good procrastination tool. I really enjoy people and portraits and am slowly learning to make more interesting shots. I dabble in landscapes but am more interested in Portraits and off camera flash. I am up for hire and have most of my experience in portraits, events, weddings and architectural photography.

As a computer Engineer I have worked for both BlackBerry and Apple on their camera development teams and am in the process of finding full time employment in this field.

I maintain a photography blog found here: blog.michaelseliske.com Check it out, as well I am always available for hire!
