Meet Michael Tanaka

Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Tanaka.

Hi Michael, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Growing up with surf photography in my home town Laguna Beach, it inspired me to start to capture memories. From then to over a decade later, I have been crafting my skillset to bring top-notch style and creativity to my projects.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s been a pretty smooth ride for me. Yes, there are sometimes problems with projects but that’s life. You just got to go for it.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m a photographer and videographer and specialize in both. Known for my videos and photography work, creating creative edits and also with my film/digital photography. Worked on hundreds of videos with talented individuals/artists and amazing venues/locations. My passion for Videography & Photography has taken me to places I would have never imagined. My short film “24 Hours” being featured in the 20th Annual Newport Beach Film Festival in 2019.

Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
Right now been listening to the full send podcast and on youtube from content creators Sam Kolder and Matt Komo.
