Since then Dotan attended the prestigious Eddie Adams Workshop, Missouri Photo Workshop, and studied photojournalism at Santa Monica College. Dotan's award-winning photographs have been published by National Geographic, The Guardian, The Los Angeles Times, and many others. Dotan teaches street photography and documentary workshops for Leica Akademie and Momenta Workshops.  In 2018 Dotan's first monograph about the endangered culture of Venice Beach, CA was published by famed German publisher Kehrer Verlag and was awarded Bronze by the prestigious Deutscher Fotobuchpreis 2018-19. Dotan's second monograph was released by Kehrer Verlag in September 2020.
