Hi, my name is Dennis Preston. I have always been interested in art, ever since I got the Artist of the Month award in first grade. I was always drawing and sketching in school whenever I could.

When I finished high school I set out to the American Academy of Art. Where I majored in Illustration, but that's not all I do. Knowing that the art world is tough and very competitive, I decided to widen my expertise, become a jack of all trades, so to speak. But the one thing that I have always loved the most is horror films and special effects, so I decided that makeup effects and filming would be my main focus. Now I freelance creating props and special effects makeup work for independent filmmakers in and around the Chicago area.

But Photography has always been another passion of mine, and until recently, I never really pursued it fully. With my photographic work, I am all about capturing the strange and unique things that happen in front of the lense. I want to capture moments that tell a story. Something that catches the viewers attention other than a pretty face.
