Meet the Team

Michael Slusher

OWNER | Creative Director

Hi, I’m Michael! I started Slusher Studio because I love helping people tell their stories through photo and video. Whether it’s a big project or a small idea, I enjoy working with clients to bring their vision to life. With a focus on creativity and collaboration, my goal is to create work that feels authentic, impactful, and something we can both be proud of.

I started in photography and live production, where I practiced my skills capturing moments and managing creative projects of all scales. Over the years, I’ve taken on roles as a Technical Director, Director, and Producer for productions ranging from small, intimate shoots to large-scale events with casts of dozens and live audiences of thousands. Drawing from a variety of hands-on experience.

I am passionate about delivering high-quality, creative projects that connect with audiences and help clients share their unique stories.
