Sean DuFrene

Pro Type: Photographer

I create photography that visually communicates ideas and personalities. Specializing in narrative-driven portraiture and lifestyle, my images are bold and quirky with a skewed reality.

“His deep sense of humor, combined with his strong technical abilities create edgy, bold and colorful images.” - Photo Consultant Jennifer Kilberg

The framework of my photography draws from time spent working as a Photojournalist at The San Diego Union-Tribune, coupled with time spent studying conceptual commercial photography at the Academy of Art University, earning a Master of Fine Arts degree. The style of my images draw inspiration from Guy Bourdin, Helmut Newton, Juergen Teller and Richard Avedon (to name a few).

I believe a photograph has a split-second to make an impact. It should seduce the viewer into surveying the image again and again. Photos that make an impact are memorable; memorable images provoke action. This is what I think about when pre-visualizing projects.

I live in Long Beach, California with Dea and our two Australian Cattle Dogs, Bourbon and Fig.
