Limited-Edition Periodical Photographs Box Set (Laura Dern)

Periodical Photographs, the long-awaited first monograph from top editorial photographer Dan Winters, provides an overview of his assignment work as a contributor to some of America's most prestigious magazines, including New York,Esquire, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times Magazine. This special limited edition of Dan Winters: Periodical Photographs was produced in June, 2009 in an edition of one hundred sets. The box and print sleeve were designed by Dan Winters and produced by Cloverleaf Studio, in Austin, Texas. In each boxed set a signed first printing of the book is accompanied by one of four signed prints, each product in an edition of twenty-five copies.

With an emphasis on his iconic portraiture, this volume considers the body of work of a top photographer whose unique sensibility is both adaptable and instantly recognizable. Winters is responsible for the definitive portraits of some of Hollywood's most photographed A-listers (Gwyneth Paltrow, Denzel Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio) and music superstars (Bono, Eminem, Willie Nelson). His voracious passion for the quirky and the creative also draws him to visual artists, scientists, architects, and everyday, extraordinary Americans.

Dan Winters (born in Ventura, California, 1962) lives in Austin and Los Angeles. He is the recipient of more than a hundred awards, including the Alfred Eisenstadt Award for Magazine Photography and a World Press Photo Award. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Austin, Texas.
