Biography

Michael Waller-Bridge lives in Bermondsey in Southeast London near the River Thames. After taking a degree in Theoretical Physics and his Master's in the History of Science & Technology at London's Imperial College, Michael spent a period of research at CERN, the particle physics centre in Geneva. He studied Holography in New York , subsequently establishing his own Studio in London, producing leading edge but personal explorations in this medium. His work is in various collections including the Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection. His interest in visual drama recently led him back to Photography, after some diversions. His current (2008) projects in progress include seeking unusual aspects of landmarks, exploring industrial landscapes, abstract experimentation and a portrait series.
