don't see that now. Michals cites Balthus, William Blake, Lewis Carroll, Thomas Eakins, René Magritte, and Walt Whitman as influences on his art. In turn, he has influenced photographers such as David Levinthal and Francesca Woodman. He is noted for two innovations in artistic photography developed in the 1960s and 1970s. First, he "[told] a story through a series of photos" as in his 1970 book Sequences. Second, he handwrote text near his photographs, thereby giving information that the image itself could not convey. Personal life Michals grew up in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and currently lives in New York City. He was raised Catholic. Michals' partner Frederick Gorrée died in 2017. The two were together since 1960.
