Photography Efficiency with Tools Every Photographer Needs with Mike Dawkins

Join the Imagen Community on Facebook to continue the discussions between episodes.

Mike Dawkins is a portrait and events photographer with a mission to show people the best version of themselves and the world around them. 

He describes his style as editorial lifestyle with an element of magical realism. 

Getting his start as a photo retoucher, he shoots and edits his photos right up to the point of being "too good to be true." 

With a degree in marketing, he approaches each shoot as a brand partner for influencers and entrepreneurs like Spike Lee, Common, Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall, and many others. 

When Mike is not taking photos, he enjoys watching basketball, hanging out with friends, and going stand-up paddleboarding with his wife.
