MICHAEL RAFFIN
Detroit, Michigan
Well, you're here to find out who I am and what I'm all about, so here it is. I'm the son of Anna and Dino Raffin, who both immigrated to Detroit, from Italy, in the late 1950's. I was born in 1966 and raised in East Detroit (now Eastpointe), Michigan. I graduated from Carson Long Military Institute in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania in 1984 and continued my education at Macomb Community College and Michigan State University. After 12 years working as an engineer in the automotive industry, I had the opportunity to make a career change to what I've always been very passionate about, photography. I have been a professional photographer for 18 years now and am continuously looking for ways to shoot creatively and expand my book. I have been published over 160 times and have shot professional sports for the Detroit Tigers, Red WIngs, and the Detroit Lions. I am a proud, single, full time father of an incredibly beautiful and inspiring teenage daughter. I continue to search for happiness, serenity, peace, and a person to share my passion for life, lust, sin, creativity, travel, knowledge, respect, and adoration.
