About Michael dos Santos

Michael Dos Santos is the Founder, CEO and Executive Producer at Versatile Studios and was co-founder of One Drop Rentals, Versa Battery and LoKi Media before exiting all those ventures. Michael\'s Photography archive is represented by Gallery Stock. Born and raised in Boston, Michael was drawn to photography at an early age. He graduated from Northeastern University in 2003 with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Photography and continued to the New England School of Photography to further his technical education. Michael then moved to New York City and put his time into the industry as a photo assistant, digital tech, and retoucher before establishing his own full service production company in Manhattan (2006), Los Angeles (2012) and Lisbon (2022). Since then, the company has grown from only offering digital capture and retouching to being a full scale production company whose services include video capture, photography and video post production, full service shoot production, as well as studio and equipment rentals in Los Angeles. Through his entrepreneurial spirit and passion for photography, Michael has built his success from the ground up. Even though running Versatile Studios and being a dedicated family man is his main focus these days, Michael and his wife Shawna have also started a Real Estate investing business, Crane Properties LLC, in Massachusetts and are actively acquiring rental properties all over the US, redeveloping homes in the Boston area and investing in commercial real estate with fellow investors.
