 We offer
Dean's images as
fine art prints of exceptional quality in addition to making them available for publication and other uses. The business is owned and operated by Dean along with his wife,
business manager, and aspiring photographer, Lee Chuah. It is a consequence of their passion and enthusiasm for the natural world combined with a desire to share and learn about that world through the medium of photography. |

| Dean's Biography | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Dean first developed an interest in photography thirty-seven years ago. He took pictures
of old cars, abandoned farm houses, and the woodlands around his rural Ohio home. In his late teens Dean began learning black and white darkroom printing techniques, and he experimented with extreme close-up photography of plants and insects.. A long term commitment to landscape photography solidified in Dean's early twenties when he first traveled to the deserts of the Southwestern United States. Ten years later his photographic interests grew to include wildlife inhabiting the lands he had come to know and love. Dean currently works in the national parks, forests, and wilderness areas of North America, Southeast Asia, and Australia. . Dean has printed all of his own work for the past twelve years. This allows him to maintain a consistent visual interpretation from the first eyewitness view in the field all the way to the finished print. Some of the most advanced materials, tools and processes available are used to create Dean's prints, and countless hours are spent perfecting them. . Dean's work was first published in the United States in 1986. His images have since been published internationally in more than twenty-five countries distributed across Europe, North America, and South Asia. |

| Photographer's Statement | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Nature and the outdoors have always played a major role in my life. Nature was the only subject available to me in abundance when I became
interested in photography, so that was what I photographed. By the time I was older and had opportunities to photograph other things, I had no desire to do so. Nature had become my photographic home. There are rooms in that home I
will likely never see, but there are many beautiful and familiar ones in which I am most comfortable. For that I often feel like the luckiest person on earth. Nature photography has held my interest and passion for the last
thirty-seven years. It continues to do so now more than ever. . For me, no aspect of photography is as satisfying as printmaking. Only in a final print is an image at its best, and I feel this is the ultimate expression of my work. When a client purchases a print, I always hope it will bring them some of the joy and wonder that existed when I captured the image. . I sincerely hope you enjoy visiting our web site as much as I enjoy sharing the images and experiences posted here.  |
