b. 1969

Created with a variety of early photographic processes and mixed media, Estabrook’s work references the 19th Century yet remains contemporary with its psychological complexity. It plays between the supernatural and the theatrical, melancholy and humor, and a touch of the macabre.

Dan Estabrook was born and raised in Boston, where he studied art at city schools and the Museum of Fine Arts. He discovered photography in his teens through the underground magazines of the punk-rock and skateboarding cultures of the 1980’s. As an undergraduate at Harvard he began studying alternative photographic processes with Christopher James. In 1993, after receiving an MFA from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Dan continued working and teaching in Illinois, Boston, and Florida, eventually settling in Brooklyn, New York.
