About

Michael Piraino spent most of his career as a lawyer advocating for foster children and children living in poverty. In recent years, he has served as a National Park Service staff member and volunteer, in addition to working as a certified resiliency coach and trainer. His photography experience goes back to the film days of the 1960s, and his interests center mainly on landscape and figure photography.

Carin Piraino was an elementary school health and physical education teacher, and has served as a volunteer advocate for foster youth. Her photography interests focus on wildlife and floral work.

Carin and Michael have been photographing together, and sometimes separately, for decades. Much of their current photography involves road trips with their dog, Tenaya, who is named for a lake in Yosemite National Park.
