A New England based visual artist working internationally in the Documentary, Narrative, and Commercial spaces.

Dean works in various camera department roles, and as a Cinematographer has lensed various award winning feature, short films, documentaries, and commercials. Of these projects some have been featured in Filmmaker, Indiewire, MovieMaker magazines. Others would be highlighted in The New York Times, and National Public Radio (NPR), and in recent years have been brought in to crew digital IMAX films with Cosmic Picture and Mission Partners Entertainment Group.

As a constant through all of this work has been my pursuit of still photography, working in medium and large format. Most of this work has been centered around the pursuit of capturing my immense sense of awe and reverence for nature. My current projects are centered around Indigenous Sovereignty, and Climate Change. 

Outside of making I spend my time playing the fiddle, surfing, climbing, sailing, skiing, and sitting in nature.
