Yes, But Do Your Photographers Have 3D Glasses, Skiing Santas and Foosball Doctors?

Wednesday August 12th, 2009

Daniel Wood / Canada
Conceptual / Portraiture / Music / Corporate
www.danielwood.ca

From Daniel’s website bio: "As a boy, a camera fell out of the sky and landed on my head.
When I came to, it was permanently attached to my face. I thought I should probably roll with it."
We’re glad he did. Whimsical nature also comes across in blog posts: see him playing in traffic.

Seattle-born. Lives across the street from where he grew up (his dad still lives there).
Enjoys that his kids can see their grandfather any time. With the kids and his photography,
he doesn’t have much time for hobbies. And that’s just fine.

Stephen Webster / Cincinnati

His work was once described in a PDN article as "a head on collision between René Magritte,
a View Master and The Brady Bunch." Look at his memorable photo illustrations to see why.
Most photographers have a portfolio to share: Stephen also has an "Unportfolio". See it here.

Usable factoid: has better understanding of client needs because he once was one! Worked for
years as photo editor and art buyer, so he especially appreciates the need to stay under
budget. Plus, he’s never missed a deadline. Work just appeared in this tasty looking cookbook.
