Dunn is known for his expertise in capturing images of hummingbirds interacting in flight using high-speed flash techniques and equipment he personally developed, as well as his fine art Essence portraiture.
More recently, Dunn has focused his efforts on Southern California mountain lion conservation. Using state-of-the-art camera traps, which he helped develop, he has captured images and high-definition footage of these apex predators in and around Los Angeles at night, including the famous P-22.
Dunn is an advocate for ethical wildlife photography. His mountain lion footage has appeared in Apple TV’s series “Earth at Night in Color,” as well as the recently released “America the Beautiful” on Disney+/NatGeo.
Dunn is Australian, and following his electrical studies at university in Australia, he began his career in 1983 doing microchip design in London. He became a global technical marketing manager in electronic design automation, which took him and his wife to the U.S. in 1996. Since then, he has consulted in such areas as radio-frequency identification for histology, high-speed photographic flash design, and advanced technology application.
He now consults solely with Hadland Imaging Inc., solutions for all High-Speed Imaging requirements (from 20-20 million frames per second).
Dunn’s passion for photography has seen him perform workshops and research projects for Canon, and he has presented to numerous natural history and photography organizations.
