Mike Shane Biography
“I like to create. Every aspect of life is about creation. Life is creating all the time. It's very ‘natural’, you could say...” Mike Shane |
Mike Shane was born in the city of Oldenzaal, the Netherlands, in 1963. As a young boy he frequently wandered and biked through forests and fields in his neighbourhood. Soon he discovered his love for Nature and wanted to portray its beauty. Since 1976 he has been taking pictures on and off. It was not before 1994 that he decided to take things on more professionally.
Mission
Mike Shane is searching for the essence and the magical quality of Nature. Capturing that essence and transmitting it to the viewer is his mission. Experiencing awe and respect for the world around us is something that is lost to many of us. He hopes his images will bring back that feeling of wonder, which we all had when we were children.
Healing Art
Making these images has had a healing effect on Mike Shane. Wandering through Nature at dawn, encountering a deer having ‘breakfast’ or seeing the dew drops on a dandelion glistening in the early rays of the morning sun; these are magical, healing moments. Moments he wants to share with the world through his photography.
These images can also be used in healing environments, like hospitals, churches, healing centers or other places where people come to find peace and love and to reconnect with their True Self. If you would like more information on this subject, please feel free to contact Mike Shane personally.
