Austinite You Should Know- Dan Herron

November 30, 2007

dan herron austin photographerWe are so excited to introduce you to local photographer Dan Herron- his talent is unmatched and his eye for beauty in the Hill Country is amazing!   We had the unique opportunity to interview Dan about his talents and his background so you can get to know him, so let’s get started:

What kind of photography do you specialize in?

I dabble in a little bit of everything, but my favorite subject would be landscape photography and portraits, trying to document an appealing scene in time or capture somebody’s soul on film.
Professionally, I work as photographer for an oil-field technology company and travel the world shooting our products.

How did you get started in photography?

I don’t know, I’ve always had a camera around my neck. I worked on the yearbook staff in high school. I think that’s where I first learned about assignment shooting and enjoyed it.

Would you ever move from Austin?  If so, where to?  If not, what keeps you grounded here?

Sure I would. I grew up in Marble Falls and San Angelo so I would love to own a second get away, somewhere in the high country near Marble Falls, Kingsland, Burnet, Inks or Buchanan Lake, somewhere along the Highland Lakes among the vast scenic hill country.

What is your favorite subject matter?

Right now, I’m interested in panoramic landscapes; also, I love to shoot portraits. I’ve got a series of Austin panoramics I’ve shot that I hope to unveil next summer in a gallery showing.

How do you use social media to promote yourself?

Flickr is phenomenal tool for promotion. Also, Wordpress weblogs. There’s so many software products available right now for promotion it’s mind boggling to try and sort through. With a Mac and iLife software, you’ve got unlimited creative print, video and web potential to publicize.

What do you most want readers to know about you?

I’m a hard worker, good shooter, creative, and single (females only).

Wink! Okay, readers, now you are lucky to know Dan Herron! You can reach him by going to his WEBSITE or his FLICKR site. Below is just a sampling of Dan’s skill… behold!

    Dan’s photography of the surrounding sites and scenes is stimulating. It precipitates a feeling of pride and belonging - like seeing a rare bird feed on the grain in your hanging basket on the back porch.

    With talent like this, we should be seeking his autograph!!!
