After beginning his career as a photojournalist for a daily newspaper in Southern California, Dan Winters moved to New York to embark on a celebrated career that has since earned him more than one hundred awards, including the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine Photography. A highly respected portrait photographer, Dan is well known for his impeccable use of light, color, and depth in his evocative images. In *Road to Seeing*, Dan shares his journey to becoming a photographer, as well as key moments in his career that have influenced and shaped the decisions he has made and the path he has taken. Although this book appeals to a broad photography audience, it speaks primarily to students of photography—whether enrolled in school or not—and addresses topics such as creating a visual language; the history of photography; the portfolio; street photography; personal projects; his portraiture work; and the need for key characteristics such as perseverance, awareness, curiosity, and reverence. By sharing both personal experiences and a philosophy on photography, *Road to Seeing* shows readers how one photographer carved out a path for himself, and in doing so, helps equip readers to forge their own.
