❝Mike Davis has a preternatural understanding of not only which pictures work, but why they do. His is a qualitative assessment that pushes photographers to tell whole stories in images. Every situation presents an opportunity to convey more than simply what is happening. There is a richer and more sophisticated life possible in every picture, and Mike helps photographers recognize those elements. I've seen edits of his that seem impossible to disassemble. He has a singular skill for weaving narrative through pictures which I am constantly astounded by.❞
