We're all getting pretty excited about this week's APA lecture featuring Dan Winters at AAU's Morgan Augitorium. Dan's talk will be interesting for photographers as well as anybody in the design or editorial world. Here are the details:
September 23
7:30 to 9:30 PM
Doors open at 6:30
AAU Morgan Auditorium, 491 Post, San Francisco
Checks and Cash only. APA Members: $10, General Admission: $15, Academy of Art Students free with AAU ID.
I've been a huge fan of Dan's work for years now. I think the line he walks between commercial, editorial and fine art is an example of the space today's photographer hopes to occupy. He clearly brings a style and vibe to the table that clients seek out.
The NPR Blog has a short interview with Dan here:
Winters knows his predecessors well, photographers and painters alike, and fully acknowledges their influence. Edward Hopper, Irving Penn, Alfred Stieglitz -- all the midcentury greats. "You're either a Stieglitz guy or a Steichen guy," he asserts, "like you're a Rolling Stones guy or [a fan of] The Who. They're two different kinds of people." Interestingly enough, Steichen was the more commercial photographer. But Winters still associates himself, and his work, with a school of early documentary photography.
I hope we'll see you out on Wednesday night.
