Michael Doven has been making striking images since 1977. He assisted in dozens of photo shoots throughout the western US with world-renowned sports photographer, John Kelly of Colorado. It was during these shoots where Michael was inculcated with the challenges and joys of creating memorable images which has become his life-long passion.
By the age of 25, Michael had already traveled extensively and logged trips to over 50 countries across the globe. He augmented his creative perspective by attending numerous cinematography classes, including the Maine Photographic workshops in Ojai, California in 1987 and the Eric Sherman Film Making workshops in Los Angeles in 1988. He then began to hone his ever-sharpening talents by shooting video on climbing expeditions in Nepal, Peru and in Colorado.
In 1991, Michael embarked on an eighteen year journey in feature film production in Hollywood where he was blessed, being able to watch, study and learn from amongst the greatest directors of photography in the world. During this time, Michael traveled the globe, armed first with a Nikon F4 and F5 and then several Mamiya 645x and Mamiya 7s shooting remarkable, indelible images.
In 1997, Michael received his degree in photography from the New York Institute of Photography. Since then, he has continued traveling and shooting all over the world creating images with his unique eye for composition and knowledge of the medium.
In recent years, and now based in Los Angeles, California, Michael has fully embraced the Digital Age and is shooting currently with the Nikon D3 and the Hasselblad H3D.
