| The world, as seen through the lens of William Dey, is a reflection of incisive
visual bservation. Dey has a gift for compositions, an innate awareness
of which visual elements must remain in order to complete the image,
and the discipline to remove all extraneous. This is evident throughout his
photographic work, be it the thunderous silence of barren desert seen in
winter, his stark juxtapositions of life in Palm Springs, lush reflections on
the glory days of Detroit design, the chic, structured tableaux of Dey’s
fashion work or his innovative and revealing portraits. When creating a photograph, Dey looks for the angle, both literally and figuratively. He constantly seeks the means to observe the world from the edges, to record unnoticed the moments that comprise the narrative threads of our being or of our having been. His hands may hold the camera, but William Dey has no interest in becoming part of the picture, nor in influencing the outcome. His sole purpose is to allow each one of the thoughtful, artistically composed images to find a full manifestation and then to speak its own uniques truth.
