Dean Birinyi is a Professional and Company Headshot Photographer based out of Palo Alto, California. Dean has been working in this industry for over 30 years, beginning his professional journey by taking photos for Kmart Department stores. From there his professional career took off. From Architectural Photography to Professional Headshots and Business Portraits, he’s done it all, and won several awards along the way.

Intrigued by the buzz surrounding HanaHaus from friends and colleagues, Dean seized the opportunity to explore this dynamic hub for creativity and collaboration. Eager to expand his network and connect with like-minded individuals, he approached Collin, Head of HanaHaus Palo Alto, with a generous offer: to provide free headshots for the community. Since then, Dean has become a fixture at networking events, where he generously offers his services, not only to hone his craft but also to foster meaningful connections and gain exposure in the community. Through his dedication and talent, Dean continues to make a lasting impact, one headshot at a time.
