About Me | Michael Dawson
I'm a South African creative (residing in London) who loves the art of visual storytelling. Film and video has the power to shift perception, teach, and inspire - a process I'm deeply energised being a part of.
When I'm not working on the next true-view ad or passion project, you'll often find me making pasta, snapping pictures on 35mm film, or attending a live concert.
