Destiny: The inner purpose of a life that can be discovered and realized.
Our destiny began on a cold and rainy night in 1984 when we first met. Not only did our names rhyme (Dale and Gail) but we also found out after a very short time that we had a lot in common, including our love of Photography. We were married one year later and we have two children, now grown. Dale has had his own business, Dale Horn Photography (www.dalehornphoto.com) since 1988, photographing weddings, as well as High School Seniors, children and family portraits, along with commercial work. Gail had always wanted to be a photographer, but has never been able to actually pursue this until recently. There lies the name, “Destiny Photographic Art”, because it was destiny that we met!
The name Destiny Photographic Art also stands for Destinations, because our photography revolves around destinations that we have traveled to, including our own city of Chicago, The Morton Arboretum and The Chicago Botanic Garden. Other photos include scenery from places we have journeyed to, such as Maui, Oregon, St. Maarten, San Francisco and Miami. We look forward to photographing several more locations in the future, including Utah, the Southwest, Canada and Europe. Whether it be shooting pictures of waves crashing in the endless ocean, spectacular city skylines, towering waterfalls, a maze of lily pads, or a lone bird scanning the clear blue sky, the possibilities are endless, and it's something that we truly love to do together.
We came up with the idea of putting our images onto metal after photographing several areas in downtown Chicago, including the “L”. The metal of the structure of the “L” as well as the city itself really create an interesting “hip” urban look. We soon discovered that this look also is spectacular with beach and nature scenes, trees, bridges and so much more.
The response to our exciting adventure has been overwhelming. We look forward to many more years of forever preserving the beauty around us in print; be it on metal, canvas, or some new interesting, innovative, artistic element.
After all, it is our “Destiny”!

REVIEWS OF DESTINY PHOTOGRAPHIC ART:
"Gail has done some AMAZING pieces for me and I have been thrilled with them all. The photo of the stairs of the "EL" is done on metal and is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Her work is all very personal and feels like it has been done "Just for you". Take a look, you will be hooked!!" STEPHANIE, MUNDELEIN, IL
"I had the pleasure of taking a look at the ENTIRE collection of photos by Dale & Gail Horn for Destiny Photographic Art. Their work is like nothing I've ever seen. The images really come to life and when you hear the stories that are attached the photos, you can't help but fall in love with each piece. Definitely something every person needs to have in their home!" ALLISON, CHICAGO, IL
“One of the most sought talents in photography is the ability to catch something new when shooting popular subjects. A great examle of this talent is the set of Gail's pictures classified as "Urban Gallery" GIUSEPPE, ITALY
“Gail’s work has much visual appeal. The subjects and medium are engaging over multiple viewings. The visual impact of these photographs on metal was surprising.” RICK, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL
"Gail's photographs are simply stunning. Granted, the special process Destiny uses is striking in itself, but her images go particularly well with the process, and the content has artistry that justifies the production. Gail's images are rich and wonderfully formed and keep revealing nuances to the viewer. As an artist and an engineer I can appreciate Gail's work on both levels. Check Destiny out - it's well worth the visit.” ROBERT, BUFFALO GROVE, IL
"It was a pleasure working with Gail, their gallery of art photography and more on Destiny Photographic Art's website is awesome. Gail has a very creative ability to capture the beauty, passion and uniqueness of the subject she is photographing, besides her poetic abilities. The 3 beautiful selections that we purchased at our company were applied on metal to give a special quality that is unlike a framed photo (Destiny's ideas) - a MUST SEE to really appreciate the essence of the final process and how amazing it looks as a finished piece of art. Both Dale and Gail Horn of Destiny Photographic Art and Dale Horn Photography are "destined" to provide great things - they did for me."
