About Me

  Mike Cox is a Semi-Professional Photographer based in Knoxville, Iowa, specializing in aviation, landscapes, nature, weather, and occasional portraits. Mike’s journey in Photography started with the simplest of film cameras at an early age. Countless rolls of film and now digital images later, Mike continues to enjoy his love of Photography as his main hobby and side job.  Traveling all over the Midwest each year, Mike is always on the lookout for the next potential image, whether at an air show, chasing butterflies along a gravel road,  or conducting a family photo shoot.

   His award-winning photography has been displayed at various locations and events, including the Polk County (Iowa) Heritage Gallery and the Iowa State Fair.

  When not working his full-time career in healthcare or snapping the shutter, Mike enjoys sharing his experiences and knowledge by conducting classes, photo walks, or simply helping organize events. Additionally , Mike volunteers for the US Fish and Wildlife Service at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge, focusing on events and photography. Mike loves his volunteer position as it gives him a way to meet new people and merge his love of nature with his passion of photography.
