WHO AM I:
Hi Friends! I’m Dean, a filmmaker, photographer, entrepreneur, and nature lover from Cape Town, South Africa. I now live in the US creating and exploring. I create videos that help creatives break the system and find creative, financial, and geographic freedom. Because who wants to be trapped under someone else rules! I care about the planet, protecting our environment, the importance of travel, and being able to work for yourself and from anywhere.

In between, I’ll share my travels, experiences, thoughts on life, short films, and how I made them. This channel will be everything and anything ME. I’m interested in so many different things and this channel will reflect that:) I hope you enjoy it!

GET IN TOUCH:
If you’d like to chat, I’d love to hear from you. DM’ing me on Instagram @dean_tucker will be the quickest way to get a response, but if your question is very long, feel free to email me at dean@madebysomewhere.com. I try my best to reply to things but there sadly aren’t enough hours in the day to respond to everyone 😭

    How do you choose people to praise? I understand and see that this photographer has good photos, but I also see a lot of his photos with skewed horizons (!?), which is a basic rule in photography. How this is a good photo? Just check his last post in Instagram, for example. Thumbs up for video and edit anyways!
