- About Me -
My name is Michelle Guan and I graduated from UCLA in 2018 with a B.S. in Psychobiology. I was fortunate to continue my medical education at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, where I earned my M.D. as part of the Class of 2023. I am currently completing my residency training in Internal Medicine.
My love for photography began during college in 2016 when I started exploring Los Angeles with friends and a camera in hand. As I ventured more into the graduation photography scene, I enjoyed the new friends I met (some of whom ended up becoming my medical school classmates!) and being able to immortalize moments of joy for others as they celebrated their achievements with their friends. As I had more opportunities to travel, photography has also been a great medium for me to share with others the beauty of the landscapes and cultures found across the world. Five of my landscape photographs were published in the UCLA health community's annual arts and literature magazine "The Beat".
Photography continues to be a way for me to find balance in life as I am pursuing my career in medicine, and I'm always looking forward to events or photoshoot collaborations with others. I hope to continue connecting with other Bruins and alumni clients throughout the years!
I strive to make each photo session fun and interactive in order to address each client's unique personality and style. I know how posing in front of a camera can be intimidating at times and try to help pose my clients if they need help. I also show my clients some of the photos during the shoot so we can collaborate to capture the best photos possible together.
