Career

Sewell grew up in Sydney and started his career as a news photographer for The Sydney Morning Herald.[1].

His first major award arrived when he was a very young photographer in 1994 when he was awarded the Nikon-Walkley Australian Press Photographer of the Year.

Based in Moscow in 1996 and 1997, Dean covered the Chechen War and Russian Federal Elections as well as documenting social issues in the former Soviet Union.[2]

Dean's series on The Block, an Aboriginal community in Redfern, an inner suburb of Sydney, was showcased at the Visa pour L'Image festival of photojournalism in Perpignan, France.

In 2001, Dean was a co-founder of the Australian photographic collective Oculi, which features Australia's best professional photographers.

In 2004, Dean flew to Aceh just after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami and photographed the aftermath. His powerful and heartbreaking work, shot on black and white film, won a World Press Award. [3]
