2020 DEMO REEL
Internationally renowned Los Angeles artist Dan Santoni creates as a conceptual photographer, CG and pre/post-production artist, and art director.
Dan is well known for his studio and live music photography and conceptual celebrity portraiture. He accomplishes this by getting to know his subjects on an intellectual, psychological, and artistic level, thus enabling him to bring out each subjects true personality, and character.
This combined with his attention to set lighting, color, and post production skills in film and photography, all come together to create a lavish world not easily attained by most photographers.
Whether working with still photographs, live action, or post production, Dan excels at handling projects from concept and pre-production, to shooting and bringing in raw footage, and finally producing a final composited and color corrected masterpiece.
