dan santoni

I am a photographer/art director/computer animator based in Los Angeles. I started shooting in Detroit Michigan back in 1989, where I began to develop my own style. I am an old school film slr photographer, but I have worked my way into digital shooting as well. I can work in both worlds, and I understand both.

Influences: Julie Margaret Cameron, Madame Yevonde, Horst, Irving Penn, Alfred Stieglitz, Lucas Sumaras, Cindy Sherman, David LaChapelle, Pictorialists of the early 1900's, Giger, Beksinski, etc.

SANDY CARPENTER/JOHN CARPENTER: That's fun! I love the colors. I couldn't look better unless we call in a Brazilian plastic surgeon. Everything is great. My hair colorist will be so excited that her streaks look good. Thank you, Dan.
You made this remarkably easy for me. I even had fun.

MARGARET CHO: ooh this is perfect thank you - yes its actually an amazing perfect image. Awesome!!!!!!! These are so cool!

It is hard for me to shoot often, due to the fact that I work as an photographer, and fx animator for film, tv, etc. So, schedules may change occasionally.

Ask about rates.

I DO NOT ACCEPT TFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
