Dominick grew up in rural Cornwall and moved to London to study philosophy at UCL. His photography career started in student media and led to freelance work for national newspapers, in the years that followed he built up a long list of editorial, commercial and NGO clients.

His long-term project “The Edge of Two Worlds”, documenting the changing lives of a community of Innu in northern Canada, won the Marty Forscher Fellowship Award for Humanistic Photography in 2005, and second place in the Observer Hodge award in 2004. This work was published internationally and exhibited in the Leica galleries in Frankfurt and Solms, and in the Proud Gallery in London.

In 2007 Dominick collaborated with writer Kate Rew on the best-selling book Wild Swim, which was credited with launching an outdoor swimming revival.

Dominick wrote and photographed Uncommon Ground, which was published by Guardian Faber in 2015 to wide acclaim - described by George Monbiot as “…an astonishing book of heart-wrenching beauty, which will re-ignite your enchantment with the natural world.”

In his ongoing personal projects, Dominick continues to explore themes and ideas that have always been present in his work: relationships between people and their environment; the experience of nature; memory, identity and beauty.

He continues to balance commissioned work with long-term projects, collaborations and teaching on the Marine and Natural History BA course at Falmouth University.
