Meet Dean Best

Hello,

My name is Dean Best.

I’ve dedicated my life to photography, videography, and piano composition, blending visual beauty with soothing, relaxing music to create immersive experiences. I travel the world to capture breathtaking landscapes and compose calming and relaxing piano pieces that bring peace and inspiration to those who experience them.

As a self-taught landscape photographer, videographer, and composer, I explore some of the world’s most stunning natural wonders—like the glowing Northern Lights in Iceland, the serene reflection of Maroon Bells in Colorado, and the peaceful morning mist over Romanian hay fields.

Born and raised in New York City, I’ve always been drawn to the road less traveled. My passion lies in discovering hidden, untouched places that many never get to see and sharing their beauty through my work.

I work entirely on my own, planning my trips, scouting locations, capturing unique perspectives, and composing original piano music. Every image, video, and composition is a result of my dedication, creativity, and love for the craft—no matter the challenges of the location, weather, or conditions.

I spend about 50% of my time traveling the world and another 25% composing music, constantly refining my art and bringing my vision to life.

For many, photography, videography, and music composition are hobbies or jobs. For me, they are a way of life—a source of joy, creativity, and connection with the world.
