The Photo Society Remembers Dean Conger

Dean Conger was a world-renowned photographer with a resume of awards so extensive, it’s hard to list them all. He was a trailblazer in the field of photography, leaving an indelible mark on the world through his lens. Dean’s photography journey was nothing short of extraordinary, marked by numerous accolades and groundbreaking achievements.

He was named Newspaper Photographer of the Year three times during the 1950s and Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1962 in the Pictures of the Year competition. In 1987, he received the National Press Photographers Association Joseph A. Sprague Memorial Award for a lifetime of outstanding work in photojournalism.

During his career Dean’s articles in National Geographic Magazine included Project Mercury, Loire River, Chartres Cathedral, Moscow, Siberia, Transportation, X-15, Java, Philippine tribes, biblical patriarch Abraham, Idaho, Ob River, Singapore, Borobudur, People of the Long Spring (Soviet Arctic), and others. And it was through the love and support of his courageous wife Leona “Lee” that he was able to explore and explain the immense diversity of our world. “I’m on a final assignment to go find her,” he said in the days before his death.

Dean is survived by his three sons – Eric, Kurt, and Chris; three grandchildren – Joel, JR, and Jenney; and great-granddaughter Serena. His legacy lives on not only through his incredible body of work but also through the love and memories shared by his family and those who were fortunate enough to know him. He will be dearly missed, and his contributions to the world of photography will forever be cherished.
