I watched the Dan Winters episode of Nat Geo's Photographer series last night.

Insightful. Interesting. Intriguing. Introspective.

There's nothing more telling about an artist than their work space. Seeing what they treasure, keep, display.

Alters fascinate me, and seeing the things Winters treasures was quite cool.

I learned of @danwintersphoto from Josh Baker a few years back at one of the North Austin Pfotographic Society meetings, been a fan of his work since.

One of my fave parts of the episode was when, while sitting behind a larger format camera, Winters asked his young son Dylan, "Where's the light?"

I think that'd make a great t-shirt.

I'm really enjoying watching the @natgeo series. Have you watched any of it yet?

Angelina Jolie @natgeo

Photo and video by @danwintersphoto / Angelina Jolie has long been involved with the UNHCR as a special envoy, and now she's also working with UNESCO and Guerlain on a Women for Bees initiative that will ultimately build 2,500 bee hives and restock 125 million bees by 2025—while training and supporting 50 women beekeepers. To promote the initiative for World Bee Day, in collaboration with @natgeo, Angelina wanted to do a portrait covered in bees. I'm a beekeeper, and when I was given the assignment to work with Angelina, my main concern was safety. Shooting during the pandemic, with a full crew and live bees, made the execution complex. And I knew the only way to ensure we achieved the desired effect for the photo was to use the same technique that Richard Avedon used 40 years ago to create his iconic beekeeper portrait. I hired my friend Konrad Bouffard, a master beekeeper, to help. He contacted the entomologist who formulated a special pheromone (known as queen mandibular pheromone, or QMP) for Avedon and worked with him to capture the image of beekeeper Ronald Fisher, which appeared in his book "The American West." The entomologist offered to let us use the actual pheromone from the Avedon shoot. We used Italian bees, kept calm throughout our shoot by Konrad. Everyone on set, except Angelina, had to be in a protective suit. It had to be quiet and fairly dark to keep the bees calm. I applied the pheromone in the places on her body where I wanted bees to congregate. The bees are attracted to the pheromone, but it also encourages them not to swarm. We also placed a large number of bees on a board that rested in front of her waist. Angelina stood perfectly still, covered in bees for 18 minutes without a sting. Being around bees is always an experience that leaves me in awe. I think this shoot was also an awe-inspiring event for all who were present—and our offering for World Bee Day has its own roots in photographic history. Creating this portrait exactly 40 years later, we are not only honoring bees and beekeepers everywhere today, we are also honoring Avedon, his iconic image, and the technique by which it was achieved. #WorldBeeDa

danwintersphoto: ″Foo Fighters, Hollywood, 1997

I’ve worked with the Foo Fighters several times over the years but this second  shoot I did with them was probably the the most fun. The band was shooting the music video with Michel Gondry for the song “EVERLONG” which ROCKS incidentally, down the street from my studio in Hollywood. I went to set to check in and Dave Grohl had this crazy punk look going as part of the music video. He was about to get into hair and makeup to get his hair back to normal for our shoot. I thought it looked great as is so we walked down the street a few blocks where I had our class photo set up and ready to go. The student casting was really great, replete with triplets. “MRS. REYNOLDS” was played by my friend Moon Unit Zappa. A fun time was had by all.”

#Repost @fantasticportrait ・・・ Angelina Jolie decided to take these shots so that today, on World Bee Day, draw our attention to the problem of the disappearance of these insects (recall that their extinction is threatened by an ecological catastrophe and starvation on a planetary scale). During the shooting, they say, there were no bites at all: everyone on the set, except for the actress, was in special protective suits, and there was silence in the room and a special dim light so as not to frighten the bees. 📸 - @danwintersphoto @natgeo #angelinajoli https://www.instagram.com/p/CPL-gWQHMMx/?utm_medium=tumblr

My Thoughts on Winters Work -

As a renowned American photographer, I was completely captured by his “Actors” work collection. It shows a depth to each person, with each image fitted to that actors work/personality, which only broadening the effects of the image. These specific images of the actress Tilda Swindon gave an old Hollywood feel with concepts of cinematic openings, this one stood out the most through narrative and visual impact to me as a perfectly timed image. I strive to achieve such visuals as a result of my own project and plan to use features of the body and face to represent my story, ambitions and creative vision. The use of the projector in these images highlights the main focus of that person and their own reflections in day to day life, I love the use of this subtle yet inspiring approach to photography when doing portraiture. Overall, Dan Winters is a grade A discovery that I will most certainly take inspiration from in my coming practice projects and will magnify into my work.
