What makes the approach special is attention to atmosphere and detail. Dean creates a calm studio environment where clients receive clear direction on posture, expression and wardrobe, paired with considered lighting and background choices to suit each brief.

How Dean works: every portrait session begins with a short consultation to understand the client’s goals — from tone and use to desired image style. In-studio sessions are friendly and efficient, with guidance throughout the shoot and selective retouching to produce polished final files. Dean is used to photographing a wide range of people, from entrepreneurs and creatives to corporate professionals, and adapts his direction to bring out each subject’s best features. Dean’s commitment to portraiture is rooted in a genuine interest in people and the role a great portrait plays in first impressions.
