Male artist series day 4: Dan Zvereff

Dan Zvereff
Dan Zvereff

Daniel Zvereff was born in San Francisco and raised in Portland Oregon. He spent a lot of his youth traveling and skateboarding, drawing journals, and having fun. When he was 22 he took a job in New York City and promptly moved nearby in New Jersey where he drinks the tap water. Over the last year he fell in love with photography, and has found travel as a means to remain inspired to live to the fullest. He likes to draw too. He too was one of my contributors in the Love book. I found him through Faesthetic. We both had work in issue #10. I’m so happy to have discovered Dan’s work. He’s awesome.

Here’s my little interview with Dan:
