I contacted Dean for the first time regarding a photo shoot for a vintage vehicle that I was preparing to list in an auction.
To cut a long story short, he was excellent. I enjoyed working with him, very professional, and understood the techniques of having the pictures present as they should.
It was a great experience working with him, I learnt a few tricks myself just watching him take the pictures. He is my go-to guy for everything photography as from now. I will definitely use him for all the other vehicles I will be listing and do recommend him to anyone that is looking for and values professional work.

I went online to find a quote for photography services and dean was one of the five suggestions. The website used was Bark.
I had not contacted Dean at all, only saw his profile. Bark contacted him about a potential client and Dean proceeded to call me four times in two minutes. When I answered, I told him I wasn’t interested but thanks. He said “thanks for wasting my time and money.”
The call itself was less than a minute. I hadn’t made any appointments so I don’t know why he said that.
He’s rude, and I haven’t even considered his service so that’s saying something.

Dean does beautiful work and he's delightful. Very professional and talented. He arrived early, made me feel at ease in front of the camera, and he had great ideas for the poses and background. He sent me the photos to select from the same day and had the finished "product" completed for me the next day. Next time I need more pictures, I'm definitely contacting Dean! More...

I set-up time with Dean to take photos for an acting/comercials portfolio. Dean was extremely professional and gave me a lot of direction on how to prepare for the session to get the best result. I took Dean's advice and prepped for the session. Dean is extremely easy to work with and knows what he is doing from years of experience. We had an extremely productive photo shoot at a professional studio and when I received the photos from Dean, the photos exceeded my expectations across the board. The lighting and background were perfect and I found his advice on what to bring such a help. It was difficult to choose from the photos because there were so many great ones to choose from. I am so pleased with the outcome that I know I'll be back working with Dean in the near future. More...

First and far, most I'd like to say,what a day I had with my Photographer Dean Henthorn,I am a bit shy when it comes to being photographed, but Dean made everything seem natural. In no time I was in the zone, and posing. I would recommend Dean to anyone who is looking to get their pictures taken,he was professional and very outspoken,punctual,also I didn't even wait too long to get my pictures back. Thank you so much to Dean Henthorn. I am now more comfortable when it comes to my pictures being taken. More...

Dean was a pleasure to work with. Our company hired Dean for headshots and the whole experience was fantastic. We were in Phoenix for a work event so all of our employees had flown in. We were only available Monday and Dean made it happen even after he was on the road all day coming back from a trip. He made us a priority! Dean was down to earth and fun to work with right from the start. As someone that can be awkward taking pictures, this was such a natural experience and I felt right in my element. Even as I watched Dean work with our other representatives, he did a great job connecting with them and made them feel relaxed. Dean did a great job working with each representative's best angles. Additionally, the turnaround time was fantastic. I got the picture proofs the next day for revision and the final edits a few days after! If you are considering having photos done, Dean is the way to go. You won't be disappointed! More...

It was 108 degrees in Phoenix, and I drove down from much cooler Prescott for my pics. I'd do it again a thousand times over! I can't say enough good things about my experience--great photos, terrific, friendly, talented photographer, exquisite service. And a shoutout to Carla who did a fantastic job on my make up (definitely worth the "extra"). Can't wait to work again soon with Dean & Carla. More...

Thank You Stephen, It was fun to work with you.
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Knowing what the client wants to achieve/do with the image is key. It affects the lighting choice, depth of field and art direction.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What are you going to use the images for? Do you have any examples of what you like? What is your time frame? Do the images need to be for web only or possible print also? These questions will usually lead to several more such as, do we need models? a studio? A photo assistant? Permits?
Describe your creative process.
When you ask most creative people, they can tell you the answer when they see / hear the key information. Most creative minds start turning when they have some sort of information from which to go from. Information can be as simple as the color "Yellow" to "B2B" or a word like "jumping". I am the same way. I study the market and know what most competition is doing, whats trending and what could be ground breaking in terms of outside the box thinking.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
Everything starts with a meeting. Its important people want to work with you and vice a versa. Then to hear the clients vision, needs and a short story about their mission or brand.
Then we need to set a budget and a delivery time frame.
What do you love most about your job?
I love the outcome. Even in a digital age, seeing the images when edited and used is a such a great surprise.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My success in marketing for many companies inspired me and has supported me for over 25 years.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am honest, dependable, creative and I truly care about the work I produce.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, We can have a Zoom meeting on-line to kick off the project and then all we need to do is arrange how to get me the product, person you want photographed. I post all images on-line for client/group review and selection.
Once the preferred images are selected, I will make the final edits and repost so the client may download them.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We can stay 6ft apart for indoor settings or outside.
