I’m really drawn to Dean’s panoramic photos of trees. He gets quite close to his subject matter, and often the trees extend beyond the top border of the photograph, creating an immersive viewing experience. Water seems to play a part in many of Dean’s photos – in two of his panoramas, the trees are standing in water. His portfolio at www.deanosgood.com also includes photos of boats, and birds standing in or near bodies of water.

Dean’s photos of birds capture his subject matter beautifully, sometimes incorporating a reflection on the water’s surface. He manages to get just close enough to the birds to capture them in great detail, without disturbing them.
