This is another final Dean decided on, and it’s my personal favourite from the shoot. It really reflects Dean’s personality. I can’t place what it is exactly, but to me, this is Dean.

See Sonic Acrobat for more details about the shoot.

I wanted a slightly darker and shaded look for this one. I was really happy to hear Dean is just as pleased with the end result as I am.

This shoot was such a success, we cannot wait to do another one. The help of Myriah, Dean’s girlfriend, was paramount for what we achieved. Myriah’s role of posing and changing Dean’s posture helped me focus on everything else I needed to. We worked well, we worked fast and we had a damn good time doing it all!

    Another well done my friend. I know a DJ and he works bloomin hard for his money. You have to love it to do it i think.

  • That’s so true Ric, everyone thinks it’s an easy ride. While being a lot of fun, it’s freaking hard work! Thanks a lot mate, appreciated as always :)

    a very cool shot of Dean … he’s looks quite relaxed for someone that doesn’t like to have his photo taken…. nice work with the treatment….

  • Ahh Dean and I were talking about this, and I had taken the shot when he wasn’t posing, which has become the secret to successful shots of him. Not a poser in real life, so not in front of the camera either!! :)
