Deanna Templeton (born in 1969, Huntington Beach, California) is an American artist working primarily in photography.[1][2] Templeton lives and works in Huntington Beach, California.[3][4]

Early life

Deanna Templeton was born and raised in Huntington Beach, California. As a teenager, Templeton discovered and was inspired by punk rock.[5] At the age of 15, she started to photograph the Los Angeles punk scene.[6]

Deanna met Ed Templeton at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert when he was 15 and she was 18. She recalls, "[h]e looked older and I looked younger so we met somewhere in the middle."[7] Two weeks later, they went on a date, and two weeks after that, they were girlfriend and boyfriend.[8] The two were married three years later in 1991.[9] They both became vegetarian in 1990, vegan in 1991, and have not consumed meat or dairy products since.[10]

Art career

Templeton started to pursue photography at the age of 15 when her mother gifted her a camera.[11] She used the camera to explore and document the local Los Angeles punk scene.[12]

Early in her photography career, Templeton traveled with her husband and other professional skateboarders on their international tours, documenting the scene. Templeton's photographs from that period embody a unique perspective of skateboarding and skateboard culture because they reflect a female perspective of a sport which, at the time, was documented and dominated by men.[13] In 2007, she published the book Your Logo Here; the photographs capture young girls offering their bodies to their skateboard idols for them to sign and for skate companies to "brand" with spray paint templates.[14][15] Photographs from Your Logo Here culminated in an exhibition titled Scratch My Name On Your Arm, which traveled throughout Europe in 2009; drawing inspiration from the punk scene that inspired her as a teenager, Templeton appropriated her exhibition's title from a Smith's song.

Templeton continued to explore the body with her 2016 book titled Swimming Pool, in which she photographed her friends who were invited to skinny dip in her pool; she documented these scenes over eight years in both color and black-and-white photographs.[16]
