Kip Dawkins
Virginia - Los Angeles
Kip Dawkins is a commercial photographer specialising in luxury products, design and lifestyle.
His first paid gig was photographing punk rock bands. He liked the chaos, lack of control and capturing the instance it came together. For the last 20+ years Kip has refined his craft in the controlled chaos of the photo set. He is inspired by light, angles, styling and the latest technology.
Kip's confident and collaborative approach has earned him the loyalty of his clients among which are luxury textile and furniture brands, hotels, resorts, top designers, architects and builders. He is also a Hyatt approved photographer. Kip is based in Richmond, Virginia, but has an office in Los Angeles and travels extensively throughout the U.S.
His work can be seen in Architectural Digest, Milieu, House Beautiful and Traditional Home.
He still devotes personal projects to the rock scene.
