Hurley Dean was first introduced to photography at a young age when his mother enrolled in a night photography class. Not wanting leave him alone, she took him to class with her.
It was Christmas 1957 when he unwrapped his first camera. He held the Kodak Brownie in his hands and admired the funny looking flash bulbs. He has been snapping photographs ever since.
Hurley's work was inspired by early photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange.
