Who is tnr protography?

The guy behind TNR Protography is Dean French, an everyday person who has a passion for songwriting/production and photography.
The name TNR Protography came from combining Production and Photography, and The Names Rock was the alias that Dean used to release his own music under.
French set out in 2015 to record some of his own tunes. Then in 2021 decided he wanted to produce! French has been taking photos professionally since 2016, which included his first wedding!
