    Dean Grossmith is an award-winning fine art photographer focusing exclusively on black and white images.

     

    His passion for photographing trees and classic beauty have led him to focus exclusively on bringing trees to the fore in his landscape compositions. 

     

    He finds his inspiration from the sense of calm he feels when photographing landscape scenes, even though in some instances he is out in the middle of a storm. Often, a slightly longer exposure creates the shapes and forms which allow the image to convey calmness and balance. His favourite conditions are foggy winter months, which help to create both minimalist and atmospheric images.  

     

    Oaks are his preferred trees to photograph, during the winter months when the trees are bare and exposed. The structures and repeating patterns can vary so much from one tree to another, with each having its own unique signature. Over time his interest in photographing trees has also led him to understand more about tree preservation, in particular how the treatment of trees can promote bio-diversity in the landscape.
