Biography

Michael Waller-Bridge gained a BSc Honours degree in Theoretical Physics from Kent University, followed by a Master's in History of Science and Technology at Imperial College London and postgraduate experience at CERN, the international particle physics Lab near Geneva. His passion for the visual arts was ignited by works in New York's Museum of Holography and he began his work in this medium by studying at the New York School of Holography where he was taught by Dan Schweitzer and Sam Moree after which he set up his own Studio in London.

He also co-created a venture associated with Imperial College which supported research in colour holography and his curiosity led him into involvement in other fields and adventures, including co-founding Europe's first independent fully electronic stock exchange whilst developing his work in photography.

Works created in his Studio were acquired for various Private Collections including the Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection. He was commissioned to make unique pieces for, amongst others, Molinare (TV and Film), Amerada Hess (Oil and Gas) and the London Stock Exchange.

His works in holography and photography have been exhibited in Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Spain, UK and the USA.

Michael lives in East Anglia, England with his wife, Artist Rosemary Goodenough.
