Now we start looking at more contemporary photographers. Dan Winters is one of my favorite commercial/editorial photographers. I had a chance to meet him while attending a workshop in Hunt, TX a few years ago. Really a great guy, and an excellent eye for “light composition.” He is now based in Austin.

    Wow. Dan Winters’ portfolio includes just about everything. He has a really cool photographic style. I love his technical photographs for aerospace and such. He makes the mundane and scientific seem surreal, it’s really cool. His video work reminds me a lot of independent film director Wes Anderson, which is a good thing.

    I was scrolling through Dan Winters’ website an was amazed by how simple he makes his portraits look. They have such great lighting and an amazing thought process behind it. His celebrity portoflio is just amazing. He’s photographed pretty much every famous person I can think of! His work with the honeybees are so interesting. He just used a plain black background and photographed them from different angles. I never would have thought of a honeybee the way I do now after seeing his work. It’s great.
