About Mike
Bio
Born and raised in Rothesay, New Brunswick, Mike Capson began his education at Rothesay High school. He always had a knack for tinkering and was never afraid to destroy a toy to figure out how it worked.
During high school he began his love for photography and art. He would regularly sneak his moms camera and a fresh roll of film out of the house to practice. Beginning on an old Pentax k1000 film camera, a few old photo instructional books, he was hooked.
With a desire to continue learning after high school Mike began studies at the University Of New Brunswick where he received a degree in Communications.
After graduating and working a few short term jobs, Mike co-founded ICS Creative Agency (a full service marketing firm) with his best friend and business partner Zack Spear.
Zack and Mike had already had a long history, coming up thru high school together and both graduating from the same degrees.
More than 10 years later and the pair have built ICS to the company it is today.
At ICS Mike primarily focuses on photography and web development projects and managing the team.
He has photographed professionally at ICS Creative Agency for 14+ years, capturing everything from headshots, food photography, architecture, and music performances.
