Please join us on August 13th, from 6:30-8:00pm to hear Dan Winters describe the early influences and interest in film and photography that led to his career as an editorial photographer.

He was also awarded the prestigious Alfred Eisenstadt Award for Magazine Photography. In 2003, he was honored by Kodak as a photo “Icon” in their biographical “Legends” series.

Dan has shot regular assignments for magazines such as Esquire, GQ, Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, Texas Monthly, Wired, Discover, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Time, and many others.
