Michael Behlen
Michael Behlen is a photography enthusiast from Fresno, CA. He works in
finance and spends his free time shooting instant film and seeing live
music, usually a combination of the two. He has self- published two
Polaroid photobooks--“Searching for Stillness, Vol. 1” and “I Was a
Pioneer,” literally a boxed set of his instant film work. He exhibited a
variety of his photos at Raizana Teas, a Fresno tea room and health food
store; his work there, “Polaroid Prints of Landscapes and Strangers,” was
up for viewing during the months of June and July, 2014. He has been
published, been interviewed, and been reviewed in a quantity of magazines,
from” F-Stop” and “ToneLit” to “The Film Shooter’s Collective.” He loves
the magic sensuality of instant film: its saturated, surreal colors; the
unpredictability of the medium; it’s addictive qualities as you watch it
develop. Behlen is the founder and Publisher of “Pryme Magazine.” You can
