Dan Friend, Photographer
Dan says of his work that his love for basic photography has been rekindled by the digital revolution. “My love for photography started when I saw that B&W print come to life in the developer tray under an amber safelight,” Dan writes. “Digital photography and Photoshop renewed an old love affair for me. I often use the tools of modern photography, Paintography – digital enhancement – to try to capture and enhance my images.” Visit Dan through his Facebook profile or at a commercial database to explore more of his work or to purchase copies.
