DENNIS GRIFFIN

PHOTOGRAPHER and DIGITAL ARTIST

Dennis Griffin, a photographer for more than 50 years, is a native of Southern California.  Born and raised in Los Angeles, Mr. Griffin graduated from UCLA with a Masters Degree in the Life Sciences, served as an Artillery Officer in Viet Nam, and had a distinguished career in the Healthcare Industry before founding Studio Griffoto in 2007 to market his fine art imagery.  His award winning work spans more than five decades and encompasses nature and landscape photography, form photography, travel photography and digital imaging.  Mr. Griffin’s unique style and eye for composition are clearly reflected throughout the broad scope of his images captured in California and elsewhere in the United States, as well as Italy and several other countries in Europe.

To quote the artist:  “I have always been fascinated by the interplay of color, design, and the magical effects of light and reflections. From my early experience to the present, my goal has remained unchanged…to utilize these elements to create unique images that transcend photographs.”

Being shuttered during the COVID-19 pandemic and unable to travel to capture new images in other locations, Mr. Griffin began experimenting with a variety of digital manupulations using the tools available in Photoshop to enhance his original photographs.  He continues to expand this process now as an integral  component of his creative workflow.  To view this intriguing work, see  the twelve new digital galleries in the Digital Derivatives Portfolio.

Dennis Griffin’s award winning work is widely exhibited in the Conejo Valley, California and major Art Shows in New York and Miami. His work is available in limited editions of signed, permanent prints on high gloss aluminum.  Mr. Griffin believes this commercial printing process on aluminum is closest to the ideal presentation of his work, as it achieves the dramatic impact and dimensionality he would like viewers to experience.

Mr. Griffin’s work may also be obtained in his published fine art books available through  Blurb.com.  See the Publications page to preview his currently available books.
