Dan Wynn

Dan Wynn (1920 in Chicago - 1995) was an award-winning editorial, portrait, and advertising photographer and film director. During his 45-year career, his work was published in many high-profile American magazines, including Esquire Magazine, New York Magazine, Travel + Leisure, Seventeen, Time, Newsweek, Harper's Bazaar, McCall's Magazine and Woman's Day. He also provided covers for books, record albums, and international magazines (sometimes with himself as his model).

Born in Chicago in 1920, his family moved to Los Angeles when he was twelve. He attended the prestigious Chouinard Art Institute alternating his education at the University of California. Serving in the US Army Air Force during World War II, Wynn learned how to take pictures and run a photo lab and, back in Los Angeles after the war, he attended the well-known Art Center School: while still a student, there he won the Condé Nast Photo Contest.

Wynn moved to New York in 1947 and got his editorial start at Seventeen, where he quickly became successful shooting fashion. He went on to shoot major accounts for top advertising agencies including Revlon (with Kay Daly [1]) and memorable campaigns for clients as diverse as International Paper, Van Raalte and Maidenform (the famous "I dreamed I was... in my Maidenform bra" [2]), and Ford cars, while continuing his photojournalist work covering events such as Le Mans auto racing [3].
