Michael A Caswell

Michael A Caswell (left) with Mr. Martini of @diptvancity — Dipt in Vancouver, heart of the VanCity hip-hop community.

Born in the North of England, raised in the Cayman Islands, and now living in Vancouver, BC.

For the past 16+ years Michael has been in the photo pit shooting for SCENE IN THE DARK, his concert photography project — watching artists channel their art night after night.

He is the founder of Shadow Caster Studios, an AI-driven creative holding company building tools across operations, photography, and music software, all in service of empowering independent artists. His background spans eleven years as a video game developer and work in AV and operations management.

He works with the Three Links charity at the Odd Fellows building, and in 2017 founded the Identity Lens Project, a human rights platform for activists and anyone who wants to share their story of identity.

His focus now is on music production — helping artists channel their music from the source, as he has done himself. Michael gives all credit to God for everything he has done and everything he will do, Inshallah.
