Studio: Dean Mackenzie’s success as a photographer has been fuelled by passion, hard work and good coffee. Originally self-taught, Dean discovered image making as a traveller, eager to capture his experiences. Some of his very first pictures – which documented his skiing and rock climbing adventures in North America, Spain and Asia – ended up as posters for an international outdoor clothing brand.
Dean was awarded Epson NZ Photographer of the Year in 2007 and has earned a Masters of Photography from the NZIPP. His talents are now in demand for a huge variety of assignments – from editorial to advertising as well as fashion, music and outdoor adventure.
When he’s not behind the camera, Dean will usually be found telling jokes from behind a flat white or pinot noir.
