My name is Mike Dalton and I am a director of photography based in Los Angeles, California.

My work consists of commercials, documentaries, music videos, and narrative projects.

With each project, I aim to light and create a look that not only compliments the story/product/person/etc., but also uniquely enhances and pushes the visuals wherever possible. My lighting style is mostly influenced by and rooted in naturalism but is often tempted to be pushed slightly out of the ordinary. Having some past experience as an editor, and still having a love for the craft, is something that has greatly influenced my shooting style and approach with every project.

Let’s work together!
