Photographer and printmaker Michael B. Platt takes an informal approach to both teaching and art, working out of his home as much as possible. A high-ceilinged, white room full of studio lights, soft boxes and large reams of seamless backdrop paper, Platt’s in-home photo studio is just off the kitchen in his Northwest Washington home.
There is a small bed in both rooms, just in case any of Platt’s friends need to crash overnight. In his most recent teaching role, as a Howard University professor, he frequently held his digital photography classes at home and allowed students to drop by to complete projects.
