					It was an absolute joy working with Ceylon. He created such a positive supportive environment while taking incredible pictures! The quality of his work speaks for itself, but it is worth emphasizing how confident he makes you feel in front of the camera. Thank you Ceylon for an incredible shoot, very excited to work with you again soon.

					Ceylon was awesome throughout our outdoor ballet shoot in DC! We had a lot of dancers in our group, and he was able to quickly but effectively capture excellent group and solo shots. He definitely has a good eye for dance photography! I appreciated his openness to us changing locations throughout the shoot for better backgrounds and lighting. His energy and enthusiasm also created a light and creative atmosphere for us — photoshoots can be stressful, but this one was just fun!

					Ceylon is wonderful! He did an outdoor ballet photoshoot in DC for me and my friends. He’s incredibly kind, professional and knows how to take the perfect shot. From a dancer perspective, he listens to what we’re looking for and hoping to capture. It was a joy to work with Ceylon, and plan to work with him more in the future! If you’re a dancer in Washington DC (or anyone who needs professional photos) you should work with Ceylon!

					Working with Dr. Ceylon Mitchell was FANTASTIC! He was so friendly, immediately making everyone feel welcomed and at ease. His encouragement throughout the session kept the energy high and he captured the most amazing dance photos for our ballet company! Can’t wait to work with M3 Mitchell Media and Marketing again!

					Ceylon is incredible to work with! I was very impressed at how organized he was with all of the shoot details leading up to the date. He plans ahead which helps keep the whole process smooth and seamless.  He goes the extra mile with finding ideas for the shoots, outfit/style inspo, locations, etc.  Even with unanticipated limited time for one of our shoots, he still got the job done flawlessly and exceeded my expectations. The shots came out AMAZING!!! (see attached images)  Not only that, he’s very respectful and always made sure I was comfortable with everything. He’s very professional, which is important for me as a female model. Much appreciated.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! ✨✨✨

					Look no further, this is your guy. Our Ballet Company asked Dr. Mitchell to photograph our dancers around downtown DC. Exhibiting the highest levels of professionalism and competence, he made the whole day incredibly easy. Dr. Mitchell was also so fun and friendly and made all of us feel so comfortable. He helped us execute our vision seamlessly. Could not recommend Dr. Ceylon Mitchell and M3 Mitchell Media and Marketing more highly.

					Ceylon took dance photos for my 15 year old and the experience was fantastic! Ceylon made my daughter feel at ease right from the start. He was patient, creative and had a great way of connecting with her. The shoot was so much fun, and the photos exceeded our expectations.
