Growing up in Vancouver, BC Dexter Quinto showed a burgeoning talent as an illustrator & painter with a portfolio filled with personal art projects and concept explorations. In High School he studied graphic arts & communications which also led to a deep interest in black & white film photography. Cinematography soon followed as his interests in visual storytelling led him to dabble in motion picture. The late 90's brought on a whole new career for Dexter, delving deep into the demand for lush visual content for the web, he spent many years as a designer and creative director in digital media.
