James Dean Photography
Welcome to jamesdeanphoto.com. I am an orthopaedic surgeon by vocation and photographer by avocation. My father gave me my first camera and tried to instill within me an enthusiasm for "documenting life" through the medium of film. For many years I largely ignored his advice and regrettably rarely took pictures.
In 1995, I was privileged to take a workshop with Galen Rowell prior to my first medical mission to Nepal. My original intent in attending was to refine my skills to a level where I could produce fundraising slideshows for overseas projects. Both the course and trip reignited within me a zeal for taking photographs, particularly portraits and landscapes.
Since then, I have tried to be more diligent to carry my camera with me wherever I go. The process of capturing images has caused me to view the world differently as I frequently find myself analyzing the light while visualizing the next photo in my mind.
I continue to volunteer overseas and have an affection for technology, beautiful scenics, and unique cultures. The result of these loves is the body of work you see here on my website. I particularly encourage those of you who may be interested in volunteer service overseas to check out the Links page for more information.
I hope you enjoy the galleries and return periodically to view updates as I continue to pursue my passion for photography.
