London: Dean Northcott Photography
2018 started off excellently for Dean Northcott, with the perfect balance of a new and dynamic lifestyle series of personal work alongside continued shoots for a wide variety of advertising clients including Hendrick’s Gin, Specsavers and HM Government.
The previous year 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.
