Finding an inner landscape in the wilderness.

Dean Allen

What we dig

Dean takes incredible photographs and brings them to us from the kinds of places many of us will never go. Long journeys, winter conditions, and careful choices about what goes in each frame are part of his unique human judgment. We love the connection he makes between the landscape in front of him and the emotions he brings to it.

About Dean.

Dean’s connection to mountains began in Colorado. Photography became a way to work through personal loss and, eventually, a full-time practice. Through Creation Images, he explores the relationship between landscape, emotion, and faith. His work is shaped by long journeys, difficult winter conditions, and careful decisions about what a photograph can say.

Being legitimately creative requires effectively communicating a meaningful idea, story, or mood by combining disparate elements in ways others might never try. —Dean Allen
