About
I’m Michele Quigley, a fine art portrait photographer and historical costumer dedicated to the deliberate craft of the slow studio. I’m someone that has always been fascinated by the beauty of the world around me, and photography allows me to capture and share that beauty with others.
After nearly four decades of raising and home-educating my ten children, I turned my full focus toward bridging living history and painterly light.
I sew my own period garments, design intentional sets and work with painterly light and shadow to create portraits that honor female agency and the enduring beauty of things made by hand.
I offer in-person portrait experiences in my Lancaster, PA USA studio and online mentorship & educational courses. I speak professionally and offer workshops on putting theory into practice.
