Overview
After beginning his career as a photojournalist for a daily
newspaper in southern California, Dan Winters moved to New York to
begin a celebrated career that has since led to more than one
hundred awards, including the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine
Photography. An immensely respected portrait photographer, Dan is
well known for an impeccable use of light, color, and depth in his
evocative images.
In Road to Seeing, Dan shares his journey to becoming a
photographer, as well as key moments in his career that have
influenced and informed the decisions he has made and the path he
has taken. Though this book appeals to the broader photography
audience, it speaks primarily to the student of
photography—whether enrolled in school or not—and
addresses such topics as creating a visual language; the history of
photography; the portfolio; street photography; personal projects;
his portraiture work; and the need for key characteristics such as
perseverance, awareness, curiosity, and reverence.
By relaying both personal experiences and a kind of philosophy on
photography, Road to Seeing tells the reader how one
photographer carved a path for himself, and in so doing, helps
equip the reader to forge his own.
