Since graduating, he has become a valued educator and mentor, fostering growth and creativity among emerging photographers. Michel’s commitment to the arts community is evident in his volunteer work, including photographing the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival, judging contests at the Sooke Fall Fair, and serving as a Board member for the Sooke Fine Arts Show.
