FSBTV015: Mike Colón – Part 2
In this episode, Mike talks about how the image of the wedding photographer has changed over the years. And, as a perfect follow up to the last FSBTV episode (where Becker talks about being a mentor to Mike), it’s apropos to have this episode get Mike’s perspective on how they first met. Mike actually calls up Becker pretending to be a groom. But, at the time he really was going to be a groom.

FSBTV013: Mike Colón—Live at Brooks – Part 1
In early October 2008, Brooks Institute hosted a very special F-Stop Beyond: In Living Color, which we produced in partnership with PhotographyMentor.com. A live webcast was held. Renown celebrity wedding and lifestyle photographer Mike Colón took almost three hours of his busy schedule to share his personal and professional take on life and the industry. In this episode, Mike shares how he gave up his pursuit of electrical engineering (after finishing four years of a 5-year program), to pursue his passion. Even if it meant shooting university graduating shots on a hot afternoon for only thirty-five bucks. Enjoy this “Inside the Actors Studio” style interview.

Whatever your opinion of the man, I hope this FSB series on him will shed some new light.
