My Bio
Biography of Daniel D. Teoli, Jr.

Date of Birth: December 1954 at Los Angeles, California

Education: B.A. California State University Los Angeles, California

I am self-taught and specialize in social documentary photography and limited edition artists' books. I first picked up a camera in 1969. Throughout the 1970’s & 1980’s I worked to document people I met as well as street life in Los Angeles and Hollywood, CA. I am trained in all aspects of the wet darkroom, both in black and white and color.

Moving to the Northeast in the 1989, I continued with my interest in humanist photography in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. In the early 2000’s I gradually made the switch from film to digital, which I use for the majority of my work, although I still enjoy shooting swing lens and medium format film cameras.

My current photography revolves a good deal around Hyper-Real HDR color street photography. I thankfully credit Les Krims for introducing me to that style of work.

In 2001 I suffered a major loss to my archives as a flood in Ohio destroyed the bulk of my photographs from the 1980’s and 1990’s. My earlier work from the 1970’s was only spared because I had already moved most of it to my new residence. This loss, as great as it was, inspired me to work diligently on archiving and preserving my photography.

In 2013 I produced 3 limited edition, hand-printed, hand bound artists’ books:

Peephole: Peering Into the World of 1970’s Hollywood and L.A

Portfolio: Peering Into the World of 1970’s Hollywood and L.A.

In 2014 I produced 2 artists' books:

Encyclopedia of Photographic and Fine Art Ink Jet Printing Media

The Encyclpopedia is the largest set of hand printed artists' books ever made. More importantly, it is a very important and unique reference collection for archival research and those interested in ink jet printing.

Cutters: There is nothing I hate more than myself.

In 2015 I completed my 6th artists' book:

Bikers' Mardi Gras

Currently I am working on:

Whoop-Whoop!

180: The circular fisheye at large.

Yum-Yum!

My artists' books are placed with museums and rare book - special collection libraries worldwide

Artist’s statement:

If I had to sum up my interest in photography…it must stem from a liking to being able to ‘freeze time.’ Henri Cartier-Bresson described how many a street photographer feels when at large…"I prowled the streets all day, feeling very sprung-up and ready to pounce, determined to ‘trap’ life - to preserve life in the act of living."

Combine that with a dose of Elliott Erwitt…"I just take pictures and hope something comes out of it." Erwitt’s quote reminds me that luck is a big factor in getting that iconic shot and to try and keep a big ego in check.

Photography trains practitioners to concentrate their vision and see things the average person may overlook. Before I was a photographer, I would seldom look at the small details or focus on a subject for any length of time.

Now I notice the beauty of a weathered wall. I see potential for a photo in a dusty window screen. In short, photographers are always looking. We look at everything, visualizing light, composition, shapes, color and patterns.

There is something that transforms the snapshot into a photograph. A spark of alchemy the photographer uses that turns the ordinary photo into something that is worthy of a second look. That elusive transformation is what I have set out to capture in my photography.
