What transforms a photographer into a portrait artist?

For Dale Dimmick, the transformation began in 1999. Having photographed Hollywood celebrities, civic and corporate leaders as an award winning cinematographer and lighting director for over 25 years, his artistry has been honored by several Emmy award nominations and an Emmy for network lighting design. It is his unique and extraordinary talent, extensive experience, love of art and people that contribute to his ability to create artful images that capture the character, personality and emotion of his subjects. His portraits are elegant and timeless and his work stands among the very few contemporary portrait artists images regarded as fine art, heirloom portraiture.
