Dean Karr (born February 22, 1965) is an American photographer and music video, commercial, and film director.
"When speaking of Director/Photographer Dean Karr, the one thing that people seem to agree about is that he is a true original. Karr’s prolific work as a director has brought him to the forefront of his craft, with visuals that reveal a highly tuned sense of style, fashion, art, and narrative storytelling.
A native of Seattle, Washington, Karr received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Washington State University. Moving to Los Angeles he attend the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He went on to capture on film the reality of the extraordinary characters that he encountered in the heart of the city. His painterly technique was highly original, the images shockingly beautiful - an important new visual artist burst upon the scene.
The promise of his early work led to Karr being asked to direct Marilyn Manson’s "Sweet Dreams." The resulting piece drew immediate and broad commercial attention, and served to propel both Manson and Karr into the forefront of the visual rock world. He was immediately in demand to work with other top artists.
Broadcast commercial projects quickly followed. Karr’s spot work combines the immediacy of current life-styles with bold imagery and strong product recognition. Recent clients have included: Trident Gum (Saatchi & Saatchi), LG Phones (Alcone), Busch Gardens/Sea World Entertainment (Momentum), Palms Hotels (S+K Group), Mazda Automobiles (Foote, Cone & Belding), Woolrich (Siquis, Ltd.), Mortal Kombat (DDB Needham), and eight annual campaigns for Universal Studios and Coca Cola’s “Halloween Horror Nights” (David & Goliath Agency).
