About Daniel Anderson
Daniel Anderson is a photographer whose ongoing personal work is primarily dedicated to the landscape in its many forms.
For years he concentrated on the 8 x 10 view camera and techniques and methods perfected over years of hand processing and printing to create black and white images of exquisite artistry and sensitivity.
Since 2005, he has transitioned to a high-end digital approach to image capture and printing resulting in increased control over the photographic process.
Artistic Focus
He has photographed the American West, Greece, Greenland, Iceland, Italy, England, Scotland, Ireland, Patagonia, the Faroe Islands, and Antarctica. He has led photographic tours and workshops to all but Antarctica.
His work is primarily concerned with the natural scene and his camera has captured both the high drama of storms and vast panoramas as well as the delicacy of the intimate detail of the American Landscape. Since 2018 a drone has become an ever increasing important part of his image making toolbox.
His work also includes a series of images of European Cathedrals and Abbeys and a series of Wisconsin barn interiors.
His work has been widely exhibited throughout the United States and Europe in numerous one-man exhibits and group shows. His work is included in many public and private collections. He currently has gallery representation in Ellison Bay and Ephraim, Wisconsin.

He has written articles for Photo Techniques Magazine and other publications.
Dan has studied with Ansel Adams and other contemporary masters of photography.
He has been an active teacher in photography, participating in many workshops throughout the United States. As founder of Wisconsin's Door County Creative Photography Workshops, Dan has offered darkroom printing and other workshops to hundreds of students since 1984. In 2004, he began offering workshops in fine art digital printing. He has also led photographic tours to many countries.
He is also on the faculty of Door County's Peninsula Art School and has served as a consultant and product beta-tester for several photographic paper companies.
About Dan's Prints
Dan's principal outlet for his photography has always been a physical print intended for folks to put on their walls and enjoy.
He uses high-resolution digital captures and prints with pigment inks on an Epson inkjet printer. Prints are mounted and over matted using archival museum boards. All of his materials and methods follow current state-of-the-art archival standards.
Door County Wisconsin Gallery
Dan maintains a gallery and studio in Ellison Bay, which is at the tip of Wisconsin's scenic Door Peninsula. There are always about thirty 16 x 21 prints hanging and many more available for viewing.
This is also where all of his digital printing workshops are held.
