Dean Hinnant
Dean Hinnant is a Virginia-born transplant to the Upper Midwest, roaming the highways and cities of the United States, revealing its character through his senses. His words and photographs blend sharp realism with a poetic eye, capturing the grit, grace, and fleeting beauty of his world. Driven by a spirit of freedom and a love of living, his work stands as an ode to the roots of our shared human condition—unvarnished, alive, and achingly true.
