Dexter’s 25 years of photography has witnessed shifts from Model/Fashion work in Houston to Celebrity Portraiture in Los Angeles to Street/Social Documentary in his birthplace of Trinidad & Tobago.

“At the core of my photographic endeavours is a desire to motivate, inspire, and educate the marginalised about the power of photography and its practice.”- Dexter Browne.

Dexter attended Howard University on a full swimming scholarship where he studied and earned a BSc. in Civil Engineering. After graduation, he was appointed Head Swim Coach and simultaneously held this and a full time engineering job. In 1994, his engineering practice would lead him to Houston, TX where he purchased his first camera in 1997 and discovered the joy of photography which quickly turned to a sideline business - shooting model portfolios for the various agencies in Houston. An engineering project in 1999 landed him a dream opportunity to relocate with his wife Lisa for a “micro-tunnelling” project in Los Angeles - a place where they both imagined would provide grand opportunities for their creative desires. It certainly did. Their photography business would quickly amass a list of celebrity clients that included names like Vanessa Williams (both), Rick James, Nipsey Hussle, Gabrielle Union, Ray Lewis, Kat Williams, Flava Flav, LisaRaye, Tyresse, Bill Duke, Bone Thugs & Harmony, Chico De Barge, Da Brat, Claudia Jordan, Sherri Shepherd, Eva Pigford, Ray J, Niecy Nash, Jesse Jackson, John Singleton, Beverly Peele, Shaun Robinson, Laz Alonzo, and many more.

Dexter would eventually relocate to his birth place in 2007 with his wife and three daughters and re-engaged with engineering and coaching which eventually allowed for a body of personal photographic work to emerge without the distractions of the commercial world that took its toll in LA.

Today Dexter is actively engaged in a couple of photo book projects on particular neighbourhoods close to his heart where he also teaches his one-day class called “The Power & Practice of Photography” to a growing list of “inner city” participants.
