Hey, I'm Dean. I'm a Street Photographer based on the Gold Coast, Australia; Focused on capturing and writing about Japan.
I think it's important to focus on creating stories through all mediums, whether it be through the camera, design or writing, and I'm hopeful to be able to continue telling these stories.
Below you will find key highlights from my journeys across Japan, enjoy!
