Dean is an artist currently living in the Midwest. Beyond somewhat-daily posts to Instagram, and doing project management full time, Dean is walking the balancing act many of us do between the creative parts of our lives and the portions that aren’t. His energy right now is going into the tangible sides of photography and writing. Such as how to prep for a gallery show, perfecting the sequence recipe for his first photo book, and working to understand what the future looks like for people with cameras. Dean is a huge inspiration for me as a photographer and a friend. He's constantly pushing himself, his art, and is always there for you when you need someone to talk with. It's easy to root for a guy like Dean because his intentions are pure and his heart is constantly in the right place. Make sure to check Dean out on Instagram and give him a follow.
