father’s old photography equipment and photographs of the Vietnam War Fortunately, he was able to take photography classes with an amazing teacher who started him on a path of learning that has never stopped His first paying photography gig was in 1990 when he was asked to promotional shots for a band being promoted by Warner Bros Records Although he has pursued many different career paths through the years, including a few years of being a musician, his love of photography and the printed image has never waned With the advent of digital photography, although he was resistant to give up film, Dennis realized there was yet more to learn in the realm of photography It was just like starting all over Photography was fresh and exciting again Realizing that the world of digital photography was complex and new, he decided to pursue a degree in photography in order to learn the complex techniques of digital imaging with the utmost proficiency Eventually Dennis decided to turn his life-long passion into a full time job He currently owns his own company, Dead Sailor Productions, a photography and graphic design business He does freelance work for companies including RedBull Energy Drink, Obsolete Industries, Secret Hideout Studios, and Digital Race Photography He continues to photograph bands, including LA Guns, the US Bombs, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Echo & the Bunnymen, Dick Dale, Link Wray, Willie Nelson, Bo Diddley, and the Rolling Stones He has been published in several regional publications and continues to show his work in various galleries throughout the country He is also the
