🎨 Michiel Bechir

Boutique Gallery at Cloud Galleries – Sky Sanctuary for Art in Second Life

🌟 About the Artist

Michiel Bechir began his creative journey in Second Life in 2009, capturing the virtual world through a photographer’s lens with a distinct sense of detail and emotion. What began as a way to share the richness of sim designs and stories has evolved into a personal exploration of visual storytelling, color, and connection.

His work reflects his curiosity about people, places, and the power of imagery—often influenced by the individuals he meets along the way.

“During my trips, I met people from all over the world. They taught me about their passions, backgrounds, and lives. I try to reflect those layers through editing, color, and composition. Lately, I’ve been focusing on high-resolution detail to give each photo an extra depth.” – Michiel Bechir

His editing style brings warmth, contrast, and clarity to each image, often experimenting with the emotional power of color.
