Dean Northcott has had a transformative year with his personal work. Stimulated and inspired by the light in Portugal on holiday in 2017, he developed a fresh, contemporary new look that has led to exciting commissions in his commercial work with advertising shoots for Pokerstars, HM Government and Hendrick’s Gin, amongst others.

2017 ended on a high with Dean landing another award from the AOP UK for a personal landscape series.

Born in New Zealand, Dean was raised on a diet of sport, barbeques and beach. After several years of world travel in his early 20s during which time he developed his sense of aesthetics, he arrived camera-in-hand in London in the early 90s and went on to study Photography at LCP.

A former semi-pro rugby player, a third Dan black-belt in karate and marathon runner, sport is at the epicentre of Dean's entire life and this is exemplified in the mood and texture of his work.
