Dan Stone

Who I'd like to meet:

I'd be interested in meeting anyone who is reading this. In the course of my photography work, I get to meet lots of people, some famous, many more not so famous. These connections are the lifeblood of what I do, and every one is just as important, and meaningful, as the next. So never think I wouldn't be interested in meeting you, or talking with you, or feel intimidated about approaching me, if you happen to see me out and about taking photos somewhere. I may not always have an unlimited amount of time to speak with you indepth, at that very moment, but I'd love to at least say hi, and get a chance to chat with you more in depth later, when both of our schedules allow. Be sure to ask me to get a photo or two, as well, of you with your friends at the event/show we're attending! I'm always happy to get a quick photo or two, or sometimes even several, of anybody who asks.

I'm especially interested in meeting other creative people, of all types, who would like to collaborate on creating great photographic art. This includes models, clothing stylists, makeup artists, hair stylists, graphic designers/artists, image editing/manipulation gurus, and even other photographers (both experienced or aspiring, in all these cases, as I have no problem, or reservation about, working with any skill/experience level), who share my concept of creative collaboration. I really enjoy the brainstorming and concept creation process (especially when a team of focused individuals are all focusing their efforts on the same creative collaborative project), the challenge of bringing unique and inspiring visions to life, and capturing it all in visually arresting images.

If you have any ideas, even if they may seem far fetched, don't hesitate to contact me if you think our visions may complement each other. About the only thing I have no interest in photographing is hardcore porn.

If you have something you'd like me to photograph, or there's an event/show you think I'd be interested in, please don't hesitate to send me an email at danstonephotography'at'me.com (replace 'at' with @). If you happen to see me out shooting photos somewhere, feel free to come up and say hello, and even ask to get a couple photos of you and those you're with.

Lastly, here are my current, unfulfilled, top dream photoshoots: Joan Jett (on location shoot and/or photopass to cover a full live show), London and the Look, Mary Magdalan, Sanaz, Kat Von D, Rob Halford (solo or with Judas Priest), Eddie Van Halen (solo or with DLR fronted version of band), AC/DC, Motley Crue, Lita Ford, Lorraine Lewis/Roktopuss, Slayer, Ozzy (solo or with Black Sabbath), present day Led Zeppelin version that's going to tour, Sex Pistols, and KISS. If any of you happen to see this, and are interested in setting something up, let me know! Thanks in advance.

Home Alive is a Seattle based anti-violence non-profit organization that offers affordable self-defense classes and provides public education and awareness. They believe violence prevention is a community responsibility as well as an individual issue. Their work in self-defense encourages everyone to recognize their entitlement to the basic human right to live free from violence and hate. Their goal is to build a cultural and social movement that puts violence in a context of political, economic and social oppression, and frames safety as a human right.

Please consider adding one (or both) of these organizations to your site/page, as well. Thank you, for helping me to help others. Click either of them for more info. Your support of these worthy causes is greatly appreciated!
