Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Dominick learned to appreciate the outdoors early in life. He spent time in the outdoors with his family almost from the time that he learned to walk.

He was educated at Temple University in Philadelphia, then later continued at Berklee College of Music in Boston. He pursued a successful career as a freelance guitarist, traveling extensively and later settling in the Atlantic City, NJ area where he played in various pit orchestras and eventually led several. He was a sideman on many recordings, where his versatility as a musician served him well. Later he pursued commercial composition as a career, writing music for TV , sports films, and national sports teams.

Out of his love of nature, photography has evolved into a second carreer. His client list is ever evolving, but to date his photographs have been published by clients in many places including Brazil, Germany,France, Australia and here in the US. He also works with Getty Images and exhibits his work in art galleries throughout the northeast.

Much of his work is done in the Pocono/Catskill region on the NY/PA border in the Upper Delaware river system. He also travels to unique locations, such as Aruba, to photograph scenes where different landscape elements come together, like desert and sea. He also does a lot of work in the tidal marshland of the New Jersey coast, especially during the bird migration seasons.

His landscape photography is usually done in monochrome and shows the intimate connection that we have to nature by illustrating universal concepts that cross between the impartiality of nature into the realm of subjective human feeling or understanding. Concentrating on smaller scenes, he shows the interactivity of natural elements, and the form and patterns created by motion.
