Mike Swain

With a rich and varied professional background spanning creative, technical, and leadership roles, I bring a blend of skills to my freelance photography and videography work. As the founder of MikeSwainPhoto, I’ve built a successful business by managing everything from client acquisition and creative direction to post-production and marketing. My experience includes working with clients across outdoor, automotive, lifestyle, fashion, and sports industries, consistently delivering high-quality, visually compelling content. This is supported by earlier roles in executive support, marketing, and operations—each contributing to my strong organizational skills, creative problem-solving, and ability to connect with diverse teams and clients alike.

Some of my best education hasn’t come from a classroom—it’s come from trying, failing, and figuring it out along the way. Every misstep taught me something valuable, whether it was about technique, timing, or trusting my instincts. Learning through real-world experiences has always been my best teacher.
