About
photo by Jordan Poeschl
My name is Michael Poeschl, pesh for short and I started photography back when I was introduced to it at T.L. Hanna High School in Anderson, SC. I liked photography enough but did not turn it into a career until about 5 years ago. I began photographing weddings (www.edenphotography.net) and have brought photography to most every other portion of my life.
I have a family – Heather my wife, Jordan (12) and Grace (1), and I spend a good bit of time shooting them so it was natural to photograph kids and families.
I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – About 2 years ago, I started with Gracie Barra. I am still a blue belt on the mats but have to be at least a purple belt in photographing this great sport and lifestyle. I actively contribute to the Gracie Mag where I have had 1/3 of the last years’ covers. Seeing my photographs on the cover of ANYTHING let along this publication brings me joy and honor. When I first covered a tournament with the guys from GracieMag, I was just excited to be close to the action and have access to the fighters. I was so stoked to see my first photo inside, and never did I think I would end up with a cover ! It is cool
