Services informed by real-world hospitality operations.

Whether you're a small restaurant, a hospitality firm, a design visionary, or a cultural institution, let's make images that do more than decorate — they disrupt, question, and reimagine. I’m Michael Kopp: photographer, educator, and visual strategist. When I’m not lecturing on visual culture or dissecting the politics of image-making, I’m collaborating with boutique hotels, lifestyle spaces, and hospitality brands to tell their stories—visually, intelligently, and with just the right amount of flair.

What you get when we work together is strategic visual content built on years of academic research, teaching, and hands-on experience in the field. I understand how images shape perception—and how the right image can shift a brand from background noise to something unforgettable. I deliver on time, on budget, and with a return on investment that makes the work do more than just sit pretty.

If you are looking for ongoing content, a creative strategy refresh, or a one-off campaign that doesn’t feel like déjà vu, I’d love to hear from you. I work with hospitality organizations seeking depth, clarity, and long-term relevance. My services are shaped by ongoing leadership within a multi-vendor food hall, where creative vision, marketing strategy, and guest experience must operate under real economic and logistical constraints.
