About Mike D.
As a kid growing up, I was always fascinated by magic. The personal interaction in a performance intrigued me to become a magician myself. My favorite question to receive was, "How did you do that!?" when something disappeared or when something unexpectedly appeared.
After the first time I opened Photoshop, I knew I had been reintroduced to magic in a new way. Instead of making coins disappear, I remove distractions and blemishes from photos. Instead of pulling a rabbit from a hat, I aim to pull out personality and emotion during a shoot. My attention to detail and imaginative approach to editing enables me to amaze you with things you've already seen. The illusion is telling a visual story that looks better than you remember! With each shoot, my goal is to show people the best version of themselves and the world around them.
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, I specialize in high-end lighting to deliver a luxury experience and quality content. I describe my style as editorial lifestyle. Getting my start as a photo retoucher, I shoot for perfection in camera and edit my photos right up to the point of being "too good to be true." With a 10-year background in Marketing, my primary focus is on helping businesses and business owners establish or elevate their brands to the highest level possible. How's that' for levitation?
