Hi! My name is Myke De Rama aka “Myke Truth” the Owner, Photographer, and Videographer of Dame x Dawn Studios in Long Beach, CA.

I was born and raised in Long Beach, CA where I grew up and was influenced by the LA Culture. I graduated from CSUDH with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Business Concentration in Sports, Entertainment, and Hospitality in 2019. During my early college years, I was pursuing music and sound engineering but later discovered my passion for filmmaking and photography while taking courses to sharpen my knowledge and skills. Fast forward to Fall of 2021, I finally decided to shift my career path and started a small business called Mad Livin Studios LLC working from a small studio home office in Long Beach, CA. By February 4th, 2024, I officially re-branded the small business company name to Dame x Dawn Studios where I continued to focus on storytelling and capturing unforgettable moments for others for years to come.

I’m a proud young dad of 2 kids “Dame and Dawn” and a husband to a beautiful & talented wifey who is an experienced Event Coordinator/Planner. I’m a big LA Lakers and Kobe fan #MambaMentality. I love staying active and fit, eating at our local restaurants, traveling to new cities and countries, and spending quality time with close friends and family.

Whether I’m at a wedding, special event, or creating content, I’m in my true element and state of bliss when I’m capturing photos and videos of the love, joy, and thrills with every story I come across. My visual style is a combination of a light & airy + cinematic moody timeless look. I’m all about good energy, good vibes and connecting with others. I can’t wait to connect to capture your next chapter in life.
