GALLERIE 30

When it comes to extreme manipulation of photographs, few can do it with more style thanDan Escobar. His photography, combined with a deft hand in Photoshop create some of the more imaginative compositions we’ve seen… from submarines rising out of backyard swimming pools, to Sasquatch swiping the wheels on an RV and sharks occupying living rooms, Dan can do it all.

His creations are a combination of complexly staged portraits and scenery which together have formed the backbone of many image-driven ads throughout the past 20 years. Among his larger clients have been Motorola, Bank of America, American Express, DHL, Microsoft, eBay, Adidas, Yahoo, Adobe and Got Milk. Dan’s recent Specialized Bikes campaign recently won critical acclaim and was a Kelly Award Finalist. If you’d like to see more of his exceptional work, you’ll find it at danescobar.com.
