MIKE PASARELLA is a Dutch Fashion Photographer, Filmmaker and Artist with Italian roots. In his work as a photographer, he tries to find the pure soul of the person and portray it in a raw honest matter. He dares to break boundaries and merge film and photography by experimenting with composition and techniques. His mission is to move people and contribute to a positive change in the world with both his projects as an independent artist and commissioned work. Mike always brings in his personal style, emotion and artistry in the assignments that both reflect him and the voice of the client.
In my work as an artist, I blend photography and film into raw, layered visuals that explore presence, identity, and movement. Using in-camera techniques, unconventional framing, and long exposures, I create imagery that lives somewhere between memory and imagination.
Through both artistic projects and collaborations, I aim to support stories, people, and ideas that make a difference — whether emotionally, culturally, or creatively. Each project extends from my personal vision, shaped through dialogue with the people I work with.
