Photographer. Speaker. Writer. Mentor.

Over 20+ years, I’ve photographed thousands of sessions for a clientele including Oscar and Emmy award winning actors, up-and-comers, musicians, models, and luminaries from business, technology and media. 
Most photographers ask you to pose. My job is to get you to stop posing. 
My work has been featured in People Magazine, US Weekly, Angeleno, Beverly Hills Magazine, Closer, LA Stage, Vigour, Moevir, and notably, on my mother’s refrigerator. 
My desire is empower my subjects to know that “beauty is not in the face, beauty is a light in the heart,” and that every one of them has a compelling human story to share.
I’m part photographer, part life coach, part clown and part provocateur. It works.
When not shooting I'm a motivational madman doing photographer coaching, 1-on-1 mentoring, artist empowerment and public speaking. My work empowering other artists gives me purpose.

My TED Talk

“Ken Dolin is a portrait photographer who sees parallels between portraiture and life. Believing "you are enough", Ken urges us all to take off our masks when we are being photographed and in real life. Kenneth describes his process as being part photographer, part life coach, part clown and part provocateur. Prior to photography, Kenneth was a commercial producer, associate creative director for ad agencies, and a working actor. When not shooting, Ken coaches photographers and actors. He does not own a tie.” ~ TED Website
