Michael Cinquino is an artist, photographer, producer, and educator whose creative work spans performance, psychology, and image-making. He is the founder of SoHo Creative Studio, a adjunct professor at the University of New Hampshire, and is currently pursuing a second master’s degree in Applied Psychology at Northwestern University.
Michael’s photography draws from years of exploration with analog film, including extensive work with Polaroid formats such as 4x5 and the Polaroid 600SE. His images resist polish and perfection, favoring presence, immediacy, and emotional honesty. His work aim to create the conditions for catharsis a release, a recognition, a return to something essential and unfiltered.
A conservatory-trained actor with an MFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, Michael approaches all artistic endeavors with a deep commitment to unfiltered expression, and emotional truth. His practice is rooted in the belief that there is nothing more powerful than human connection and nothing more meaningful than honest expression.
He lives and works between Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Brooklyn, New York.
