Michael Totten is a Los Angeles-based photographer whose work delves into the complexities of memory and space through constructed environments and portraiture. A graduate of Art Center College of Design with a BFA in Fine Art Photography, Michael’s practice interrogates how we reconstruct and reinterpret past experiences. His images explore the nuanced boundaries between reality and imagination, questioning the veracity of memory and focusing on the narratives we craft for emotional resonance. His Craigslist project, which began with spontaneous photo sessions of strangers, developed into an exploration of shared narratives, shifting from impromptu encounters to curated scenes that reflect the intricate dance between reality and constructed moments.
