About Us

Dean made his first photographic prints in high school during the days of film and darkrooms. It was not until 1997 that he began printing all of his own work digitally. This allows him to maintain a consistent visual interpretation from the first eyewitness view in the field all the way through to the finished print. Dean has also made prints for other photographers, reproduced works for painters and other visual artists, and digitally restored and printed historically significant photographs for corporate and private collections. Some of the most advanced tools, materials, and processes that exist along with over twenty years of printmaking experience were used to create Dean's fine art prints.

Dean's work was first published in the United States in 1986. His images have since been published in more than twenty-five countries distributed across Europe, North America, and South Asia.

Dean and his wife currently live in Australia where he is fully retired and concentrates on field work for his own enjoyment. This is the most fundamental, enduring, and enjoyable aspect of photography for Dean, and what first drew him to photography nearly 60 years ago.

The photographs on this website are my attempt to show the essence of my subjects, all of which are diminishing. They are statements saying "This exists in our world." They are questions of conscience, asking how we can knowingly wipe these places and beings from the face of the planet, robbing them from the future, and claim any morality. They are a hope that more people might realize that destroying nature is destroying humanity's future. To these ends my goal is to present the unblemished face of nature, without obvious signs of modern human presence. I always hope that my photographs convey to others the wonder, awe, and joy that existed when the images were captured.
