Fine Art Photography Books by Mike Dooley

Stories You Can Hold. Images That Stay With You.

Photography has always been my way of seeing the world. A single print can stop you in your tracks—but a book? Photography books lets you live with the work. Page by page, moment by moment, you can pause, reflect, and return. These aren’t just collections of images—they’re objects you live with, not glance at once and put away.

This is a small, intentional collection of fine art photography books. Each book is built around a focused idea rather than a “greatest hits” approach. Every photograph earns its place. Every page turn has intention. Nothing is rushed.

These books are for people who love beauty, calm, and meaning—collectors, interior designers, or anyone who wants a piece of art that quietly lives in their space.

Through My Eyes

A Mindfulness Photography Book for Healing

Through My Eyes was born during a period of forced stillness. A spinal cord injury made it difficult for me to reach the shoreline, and I had to learn to see differently. The peace I found at the ocean wasn’t just in the salt air—it was in the act of paying attention.

This book focuses on quiet moments along the coast: early sunrises, subtle shifts in light, simple forms, and fleeting details that often go unnoticed. Each photograph is paired with short reflections to invite presence, gratitude, and calm.

Hope

An Inspirational Photography Book and Veteran Memoir

Hope is more than images. It is a visual memoir born from years of navigating chronic illness and a life-altering injury, a testament to resilience and perseverance in the face of uncertainty. Each photograph is a pause, a moment captured to remind us that even when life feels heavy or invisible, there is a path back to color, light, and presence.

Through vibrant, full-color landscapes and seascapes, Hope brings the natural world to life in ways that speak to both the eyes and the heart. The images are not only beautiful—they are invitations to slow down, notice the subtle shifts of light, and reconnect with the small but profound wonders that surround us every day.

Accompanying reflections guide a meditation on hope and presence, offering space for contemplation and emotional restoration. This book is both a personal journey and a shared experience: a way to honor struggle, celebrate endurance, and hold the possibility of light and life at the center of the story.

What’s Coming Soon

This is just the beginning. Future releases will include:

  • Hardcover Fine Art Books – heavier paper, refined finishes, lasting presence
  • Smaller, Themed Subject Books – tightly curated concepts focusing on a single mood, location, or story

Each new release will stand on its own as a carefully sequenced, intentional body of work. These upcoming books will be made slowly, deliberately, thoughtfully—because a good book deserves patience.


Who These Books Are For

These books resonate with:

  • Collectors who want art that feels lived with
  • Interior designers seeking meaningful, giftable art objects
  • Anyone looking for mindfulness and calm through photography

You don’t need to be a photographer to enjoy them—you just need to be human.


Experience the Work

These books are meant to live in real spaces. Open them at random, leave them on a coffee table, revisit a favorite page, or gift them to someone who needs a moment of calm.

From prints to books, my philosophy is the same: slow down. Notice beauty. Create spaces for presence.

From printer to wall, and now a photography book for your soul.
