Cultural Heritage

Specializing in the documentation of cultural heritage, Michael Adair captures the architectural grandeur and intricate details of UNESCO World Heritage sites and historic landmarks. Michael possesses a unique ability to not only convey the scale of immense spaces but also to render them accessible and intimate through his lens.

Trusted by world-class organizations, he has been granted exclusive access to restricted locations for the Vatican Museums, the Royal Collection Trust, the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation, and the Galleria Borghese, among others.

By blending technical precision with an artistic perspective, Michael provides cultural institutions and heritage brands with archival-quality imagery that preserves the legacy of historic interiors and museum collections.

Based in Cologne, Germany, he travels extensively to document the "impossible" scale and light of Europe’s most significant cultural monuments.
