About Dan

I am an photographer, filmmaker and new media professional, and have worked as a producer, cameraman, and editor for many online documentary and storytelling collectives. As a documentary filmmaker, I collaborate with other storytellers from all across the world, working together to produce both original feature films and web documentaries. As a photographer, I specialize in portraits and advertising shoots. Since 1998, I have been hired by such clients as Atlantic Records, Animal Planet, Discovery Communications, Harley-Davidson, SC Johnson, Al Jazeera (London), and the National Gallery of Art (Washington DC). I recently worked at the University of Wisconsin - Madison's Wisconsin Center for Education Research conducting research in education and developing new forms of documentary-style field data acquisition. Currently, I am finishing my feature-length documentary film, Swim Jim Swim. I am a recipient of a Wisconsin Arts Board filmmaker fellowship and a Mary L. Nohl Artist Fund fellowship. My most recent book and exhibit, Motorcycles of Kerala, is a series of pinhole photographs taken during a trip to southern India.
