to your biography

Jungle Branch specializes in creative portraiture through a mixture of explorative lighting & naturally lit scenes, in-camera tricks, and playful curiosity.

No matter what your profession may be, unique portraits will help your brand pop & make you stand out from the rest of the media most folks use.

While I no longer have a studio, I’m always down for using creative lighting in different spaces - both indoor & out.

Whether you’re a musician, voice actor, video game designer, mask-maker, massage therapist, dancer, park ranger, or a welder - you deserve rad photos of yourself to share!

I generally work with folks who haven’t had professional photos except for “school portraits,” making every person feel & look cooler than they give themselves credit for.

Let’s make some dope photos together!

Mike Talyad of Jungle Branch is a local Asheville photographer, and founder of Caravan Art Bazaar. By chasing light & shadows throughout the country and across the seas, Mike has created a diverse portfolio of both personal & professional works spanning three decades of playful & intentional creation.

Always up for new challenges, exploring photography for Mike isn’t a career - it’s a lifetime commitment of sharing stories, helping others highlight their own creations, and hopefully inspiring others to do what they can to protect & preserve our delicate home we call Earth.
