Michael Childers has been a renowned and highly respected film, dance, and theater photographer for forty years. Since 1996, he has been working solely with fine art photography and on book projects. Born in North Carolina, Childers graduated from UCLA Film School where he directed student films and began his photography career by studying with Robert Heineken and Edward Teske. Childers created the mixed media work for the record-breaking run of the hit off-Broadway musical "Oh Calcutta" for Kenneth Tynan. It was Tynan who subsequently invited Michael to work for Sir Laurence Olivier's National Theater in London. He remains the only American photographer invited to photograph the National Theater's productions. He went on to become a founding photographer for Andy Warhol's Interview and After Dark magazines. For Dance magazine, he produced many covers including those featuring the Joffrey Ballet, The Royal Ballet, and the Alvin Ailey Dance Company as well as co-authored a book Bejart: The World of Dance. From his Melrose Avenue and Venice Beach studios Childers photographed over 200 magazine covers including GQ, New York, TV Guide, Esquire, Los Angeles, Elle, Paris Match, Life, London Sunday Times Magazine, and both English and Italian Vogue. He created more than 100 film posters for major motion picture studios. In 1988, Michael won the award for "Best Poster of the Year" from the New York Art Director's Circle for the film Siesta. He has also worked as a special photographer on many films including Grease, Marathon Man, The Year of Living Dangerously, Coal Miner's Daughter, Pennies from Heaven, Hammett, and Endless Love. Michael's work in feature films extends beyond photography. Starting as a production assistant on the Academy Award winning Midnight Cowboy, he worked his way up the production ranks on such films as Day of the Locust and Marathon Man before going on to co-produce The Falcon and the Snowman and The Believers. Andy Warhol (/ˈwɔːrhɒl/;[1] born Andrew Warhola Jr.; August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American visual artist, film director and producer. A leading figure in the pop art movement, Warhol is considered one of the most important American artists of the second half of the 20th century.[2][3][4] His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best-known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67).
