Hi, I’m Mickel Garrett, a commercial photographer, lighting designer, and production specialist with a deep love for clean visuals, technical precision, and real storytelling.

I started my career the traditional way — inside Los Angeles rental houses, prep bays, and studios — learning camera systems, grip gear, lighting theory, and set workflow from the ground up. Over the last decade, I’ve supported and shot alongside editorial and commercial photographers at the highest level, refining a style rooted in clarity, lighting discipline, and shot‑to‑spec execution.

Today, I bring my experiences back home to Kansas City, where I help brands, agencies, institutions, and creatives produce work that feels elevated, intentional, and built to last. Whether I’m photographing a campaign, designing lighting for a video, or rebuilding a team’s production workflow, I approach every project with a mix of creativity, technical strategy, and production know‑how.
