To Touch the Intangible: The Vision and Photography of Dexter Yarbrough

Vision, as Dexter Yarbrough writes, in effect, is the photographer’s keen eye for details and the bigger picture. Photography he simply presents as both an art and craft. He speaks as one who has spent a considerable amount of time shooting in and out of the sun and developing those shots in the dark room or using Photoshop.

Yearning to touch the intangible, Dexter Yarbrough, Investigation and Security Operations Director of Patton Solutions, pursues photography with the ferocity of a detective sniffing and skippering on the heels of a suspect. However, only things of beauty—and its immortalization thereof—are what he is after when he’s doing photography.

Dexter Yarbrough has been inspired to gather talented professionals into a creative lab, which he touted as DJY Photography. Though unbound by blood, these shooters are united by the same passionate DNA that drives them to chronicle fleeting moments as they happen. Skills, knowledge, experience, and the “eye” are their choicest weapons, alongside the camera.

Dexter Yarbrough has passed on to them the vision of immortalizing a memory—and everything that comprises it, including the width of a smile or length of a shadow—on a canvass that is different from that of a sketch artist or a painter, but nonetheless as tangible.
