Services

More than just photography

Over the years we've accumulated a unique combination of skills working with hundreds of businesses, their vendors, business coaches, as well as advertising, marketing, or media agencies. We then saw a need for more than just photography and the related services that go along with that. With additional talent on board that have long standing successful businesses of their own, we'd created Digital Dean, a full service creative agency that delivers what businesses REALLY need. Find out what it means to be serviced, how our services pay for themselves, and what it feels like to work with experience and communication; our strenth.

In addition to our accredited & award winning photography, including landscape artwork, we now offer:

• Photography training
• Scanning of slides/negatives/photographs, full restoration, printing
• Computer consulting, sales, & service for photo editng machines, network area storage (NAS), backup solutions for home/office digital assets
• Graphic Design - branding, corporate/business identity, logos
• Copywriting

Licensing Usage and Fees

Rights Management

• The value of a license is determined by the use of the image, which is generally broken down along these lines;
• Usage: (eg. Advertising - "Above the Line", Corporate - "Below the Line" or Editorial - "News Media")
• Specific Use: (eg. Billboard, Annual Report, Newspaper article)
• Duration: (eg. 1 month, 2 months, 1 Year, 2 Years etc)
• Print Run: (eg. up to 10,000, up to 1m)
• Territory: (eg; USA, Europe, UK, Germany, or whatever combination of territories are required)
• Size: (how big is the image to be used - 1/4 page, 1/2 page, full page, or double page spread)
• Industry: (Industry type - eg. Consumer Electronics, Marine Engineering, Financial Services etc)
• Exclusivity: (Exclusive, or Non Exclusive)
• The terms of the license are clearly defined and negotiated so that the purchaser receives maximum value, and is protected in their purchase by a certain level of exclusivity.
• Rights-managed licenses provide assurance that an image will not be used by someone else in a conflicting manner. The agreement can include exclusivity, and usually recognises that this represents added value. Not all Rights-managed licenses are exclusive, that must be stipulated in the agreement.
• A Rights-managed image usually allows a much larger print run per image than a Royalty-free license.
• Editorial is a form of rights-managed license when there are no releases for the subjects. Since there are no releases the images cannot be used for advertising or to depict controversial subjects, only for news or educational purposes.

Biography

Dean Cebuliak, aka Digital Dean

I’ve always had an eye for beautiful thinks as long as I can remember! Raised on a hobby farm in Vernon, British Columbia, it seems fitting that I’d settle back in my home town surrounded by the beautiful vistas of the Okanagan Valley. In 2001, with my background in electrical & computer technology, I discovered, and honoured my true calling by starting a full time photography business.

It all started by utilizing my engineering background to research and implement a new digital technique. It allowed me to create super high resolution panoramic images of the landscape, and once I learned to print them too, I was able to sell them out of a local gallery and frame shop. Through continual refining of the process and upgrading to the latest digital equipment and software, my landscape work now sells throughout the valley mostly as custom sized art pieces for homes, offices, and commercial spaces.

With one revenue stream not being enough to survive, I expanded upon my new found natural talent and evolved into the multi-faceted award winning photographer that I am today. A lifetime of experience, skills, and exacting standards became a powerful combination that enables me to create the quality commercial images and fine art landscapes that you see today.

Through this humbling process I earned the unshakable name of “Digital Dean” because of my expertise and passion for new technology. Two years later it finally gave it and renamed the business Digital Dean Photography, and at present I cater to both regular and the most discerning clients over Western Canada out of my home studio and gallery. With a large selection of lighting equipment, backup cameras, radio transmitters, professional software, and a four wheel drive, I have everything necessary to complete small jobs, all the way to very large on-location commercial photo shoots.

Like most dedicated business owners, I continue to stay current and hone my skills through two professional photography associations. I give back to my community through various charitable organizations, and am a member of the local Chamber of Commerce.
