Dennis Szeba



I strive for an artistic mood over technical excellence in my images, so sometimes the colors or contrast may look off. In most cases it's intentional or the resolution on this site is so low it degrades the original attributes. My printed images are always tweaked to give the proper settings I'm trying to convey.

This is a sampling of the various styles and subjects I shoot. I spent a few years doing public affairs with the Coast Guard and got to photograph many of the local operations as a civilian volunteer. Also included are samples of my commercial and stock work, as well as pics I just like for one reason or another.

I'll be adding captions in the future, so if you have any questions about an image before I get them done - feel free to contact me.
