A professional photographer for over 50 years, Michael Silver worked in newspapers both in Victoria and Western Australia, following a period of freelancing for national newspapers in the UK.

Michael is President of Magnet Galleries Melbourne Inc., a not-for-profit registered charity and Centre of Photography based at The District, Docklands. Magnet hosts exhibitions, talks, seminars, workshops and music performances. It exists to further the practice and appreciation of photography and to support photographers and students. It’s really about providing a family of support, fundraising for good causes and education through photography.

Daniel Silver has been part of the photography and print industry for over ten years. His early days of corporate and commercial printing began with Photoshop before digital printing was a common concept. Over the years, his growing knowledge and expertise in fine art printing and high quality archiving has produced numerous photographic exhibitions for Australian photographers and artists.  He continues to contribute to large historical photo projects, helping to preserve Australia’s photographic history. Some of his excellent work in high quality printing is now a historic showcase as part of the State Library of Victoria’s collection.
