ABOUT JOSH

Josh Dean is a portrait photographer and professional button-pusher based in Stillwater, Oklahoma, serving clients in both Stillwater and Oklahoma City.

For more than 15 years, Josh has built Josh Dean Photography around creating senior portraits, headshots, families, and commercial work - with an equal obsession for finding better, faster ways to get from capture to finished image.

A longtime Wacom user and unapologetic Stream Deck addict, Josh has built an editing workflow around one simple idea: if he has to do something over and over again, there should probably be a button for it.

Josh is actively involved with Professional Photographers of Oklahoma and serves on the PPok Board of Directors. When he isn't behind the camera, retouching with a pen, or adding yet another button to his Stream Deck, he's probably figuring out another way to shave three clicks off something that already worked perfectly fine.
