Dennis Cox is an award-winning travel and location photographer for magazines, books, corporate publications, and advertising. He managed to photograph on all seven continents and has specialized in photographing China since 1976. His photographs have appeared in an eclectic range of publications in numerous countries worldwide.

Dennis' travel photography is aimed at stock sales, and he markets his images through his own stock agencies, maintaining full control of his output. He won an incredibly long list of awards, including SATW's Travel Photographer of the Year for many years.

A true professional in every sense of the word, his gallery of photographs on the Detroit Focus (an artists' alliance) website shows his talent and creativity. His photographs are studies in perfectionism, and ingenuity...I've been to Burma's Inle Lake twice and never thought to photograph the fisherman through the net as Dennis did! There are other photographs in this gallery which I'd like to mention, and which highlight Dennis' versatility....the first is that of the two Buddhist novices (#22) in a temple in Xishuangbanna (Yunnan) and the other is of a novice (#24) holding an alms bowl at the Schwezigon Pagoda. Dennis chose a wide-angle and photographed from low...in both cases, I would've photographed from eye-level. His viewpoint is much more effective. The one photograph which doesn't do it for me is the photograph of the Burmese woman behind a bunch of parasols.

Here's Dennis Cox's gallery on Detroit Focus.
