Photographing for over a decade, Mike Osborne has a way of photographing his subjects with a cinematic quality. Exploring concepts such as public spaces, landscapes, technology, and changing architecture, his work reflects the constant change occurring in the modern world. His bodies of work such as Enter the Dragon (2006-2008), from Beijing, Taipei, and Shanghai, Underground (2009-2010) in Stuttgart, Germany, and Floating Island (2012) in the Great Basin Desert in Wendover, Utah. His works address a variety of subject matter, but all reflect the modern world in a somewhat surreal balance between reality and fantasy
