The artist
Meet Michael Lloyd, lifestyle photographer
Michael Lloyd is a lifestyle photographer based in Los Angeles, California.
His love of film and grain sparked more than a decade ago, and he is still chasing the next great frame.
Look across his work and a pattern appears. A figure at the edge of the picture. A road bending away. A coastline that takes its time. Each frame sits at the start of something, which makes these photographs good company for a new year.
The places
Four places, four beginnings
Every Michael Lloyd photograph starts somewhere real. These are four of the places.
Oia, Greece
In black and white, a lone figure dives from a rugged cliff into the sea. The Leap holds one fleeting moment of courage.
See The Leap
The Amalfi Coast, Italy
Two photographs come from this coastline. Amalfi Club shows a white umbrella above a blue sea. Italian Holiday shows a swimmer diving beside a red boat.
See Italian Holiday
Malibu, California
A classic black Porsche 911 rests in sunlit grass as a silhouetted figure approaches. 1979 also comes in black and white.

Northern California
A black Porsche 911 sweeps around a sunlit mountain road, shot from above, trailing a long afternoon shadow.

The Leap: the story behind the photograph
In Oia, Greece, a lone figure leaves a rugged cliff and falls toward the sea. The rock is dark, the water is calm, and a small boat waits in the distance. It is all in black and white, so nothing competes with the jump.
It is the moment between deciding and landing, caught before anyone knows how it ends. That is what January asks of us, and it is the moment you keep when The Leap hangs on your wall.
It says: begin before you feel ready, and trust the water.
The American West
Open-road wall art: the American West

Wall art for a new year, room by room
Cinematic, coastal and quietly confident, these photographs give a room a point of view.
In the living room
Hang one large piece above the sofa, sized to about two-thirds of its width. Amalfi Club and Italian Holiday open a room up with light and sea.
In the bedroom
Canyon Cruise above the bed sets the tone for the morning: an open road and a day still ahead.
On a gallery wall
Group three that share a mood. The Leap, 1979 B/W and Call Of The West are all black and white, so they read as one story.
