ASPP DC/South Chapter

Dan Westergren, Sr. Photo Editor for National Geographic Traveler is based in Washington DC where he spends his days looking at pictures of some of the most beautiful places in the world. Since picking up a camera in the 8th grade he has  been fascinated with photography and the way photographers create objects of beauty from the world at large. He has turned this fascination into a lifetime obsession of constantly photographing everything around him. He’s been lucky to photograph for the pages of National Geographic Traveler amazing places like the summit of Mt. Blanc and the North Pole. But often his subjects are just the neighborhood dogs or his kids, who he will drag  to the Potomac river and make them stand waist deep in the cold water waiting for the light to be “just right.”  He is also an experienced teacher, having led workshops for National Geographic Expeditions  in Santa Fe, Tuscany, Baja and the Galapagos Islands.
