DEAN KEEFER "Linda Carter" photohgraphed by Dean Keefer Dean Keefer’s photography career spans 22 years. It was a natural expansion of his artistic career creating paintings. Dean currently resides in Palm Springs where he continues to photograph, paint, and create through interior design of many local mid-century and modern homes. Although born and raised on a cattle ranch in Montana, Dean knew in his youth he would make California home. Through photography Dean enjoys portraying fantasy and guiding his subjects to capture their true personality (essence). He welcomes the challenge of clients who are uncomfortable being photographed. His Aries determination results in a beau tiful finished product, allowing his subjects to move forward with newfound confidence. This is reflected in one of his favorite sayings “makeup by MAC or Macintosh.” Dean’s black and white images have been featured in books, calendars, greeting cards and posters. He’s created numerous covers and advertisements with fellow photographer, Keith Munyan. He is currently creating a book highlighting the extensive collection of angels and crosses he’s photographed through world travel. Collect Dean's work at Gallery 446 here.		DEAN KEEFER
