Landscape Photographer

Dean Newitt is a photographer who uses Australia's beauty to communicate with the soul. His panoramic images from the Australian Alpine, like "Icy Vapor", make you feel as if you are there, you can almost feel your breath coming out in great icy puffs. In contrast landscape images like "Namatjira Drive Twilight" are so reminiscent of that great Australian Aboriginal painter you can experience a connection to the land and it's not much of a stretch of the imagination to hear the didgeridoo playing in the background.

Other images like "Mirage" give you such a sense of isolation, where "Serenity" bestows an impression of peace.As one of Australia’s most visionary photographers Dean Newitt’s images emanate an energy that touches a deep chord within us all. Since early childhood Dean’s life has inextricably connected with picture and images. His creative gifts instinctively found expression in the language of photography.

Dean Newitt has been photographing professionally for over 20 years and nature inspired his emerging art. Certainly there are many talented photographers in Australia, but Dean Newitt is a photographic artist who so precisely captures the psychic and spiritual connection to the continent of Australia.
