A talk, book signing and reception with one of the world’s most influential editorial photographer - Dan Winters,
on the occasion of the publication of Dan Winters' first monograph, Periodical Photographs (Aperture, May 2009).
Dan Winters has contributed to some of America's most prestigious magazines, including New York, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Texas Monthly, and the New York Times Magazine.
The book includes Winters's definitive portraits of some of Hollywood's most photographed A-listers, among them Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslett, Denzel Washington, and Leonardo DiCaprio, and music superstars Bono, Eminem, and Willie Nelson. His voracious passion for the quirky and the creative also draws him to visual artists, scientists, architects, and everyday, extraordinary Americans. One of the last additions to the book is a portrait of President Barack Obama taken in San Antonio, Texas, in March 2008 for Time. Designed by Scott Dadich, award-winning creative director of Wired magazine, and with a preface by Lynn Hirschberg, editor-at-large at New York Times Magazine, Periodical Photographs showcases a photographer at the top of his game.
Dan Winters (born in Ventura, California, 1962) lives in Austin and Los Angeles. He is the recipient of more than a hundred awards, including the Alfred Eisenstadt Award for Magazine Photography and a World Press Photo Award. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Austin, Texas.
