In June and July of 2010, I, Dean MacKay slept on 50 different couches in 50 consecutive nights and documented the whole thing.

While I have always enjoyed photography, it wasn't until late 2005 that the passion was ignited and grew like a bonfire. A bit directionless at the time, I bought my Contax AX 35mm film camera and took a class at Art Center College of Design. Taking that knowledge and those lessons learned, along with shooting seemingly non-stop, I was quickly able to remove the training wheels and see things that once faded into the background. Soon after I was asked to venture to various music video sets and shoot photos for inclusion in the book MAKING MUSIC VIDEOS by Lara M. Schwartz. And thus, my professional career began. In fact, they liked the photos so much that they decided to not only print them on glossy pages inside, but also to include some on the cover. The book was published by Billboard Books in August 2007. Since shooting these photo in mid-2006, I have continued to hone my skills by shooting at various events in a multitude of locations, most notably, shooting photos on-set for the pilot for AMERICAN BAR. You can see some of these photos on my flickr page. There will be more to come. There are always more to come. If you see any that you like, let me know. If you want to use any of them, let me know. If you want prints, let me know. And of course, if you find yourself in need of photographer, let me know..
