The photographer Justin de Deney was born in 1966 in Notting Hill Gate, London. He attended Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design. His photographs have featured in the Face, GQ, Citizen K, Dazed & Confused, Paper, and Sleazenation amongst others. He shot many of the early ‘House’ DJ’s, including Norman Jay, Little Louie Vega, and Todd Terry, and bands such as Massive Attack, M People, and Marc Almond. From here he went on to shoot fashion and advertising, including campaigns for Dr Martens. Justin de Deney's irreverent fashion stories emerged out of the 'nouvelle vague' of British fashion photography and was most probably influenced by photographers such as David Simms and Corinne Day. His pictures were humorous and reflected a growing unease with the previous generation of fashion photographers.
