Michael Swanson (aka ‘Swanny’) brings more than a decade of experience to
Media Process Group. Prior to joining MPG, he worked as D.P. at TeamWorks
Media and as a photographer at Orbis Broadcast Group.
Most recently, Swanny was D.P. of MPG’s new documentary, “The Joffrey
Ballet: Mavericks of American Dance.” He was also one of the D.P.’s of
“Oprah’s Australian Adventure” which aired on the Oprah show earlier this
year.
In 2009 Mike shot a long-form project for micro-finance organization

Tampico in Brazil and Peru. Mike has also served as D.P. on the
documentaries“The Team That Changed the World”, and “Disco Demolition: 25th

When he is not shooting, you can find him at cheering on his beloved
Michigan State Spartans (Class of 1996) or at Wrigley Field. A die hard
Cubs fan, he is always convinced that “next year is our year.”
