About Daniel Milnor
Daniel Milnor spent twenty-five-years as a full-time photographer but is currently “Creative Evangelist” for Blurb, Inc. the world’s premiere print-on-demand publishing platform. He splits his time between the smog-choked arteries of Southern California and the spiritual landscape of New Mexico where he’s been known to hike, paddle, climb, ski, ride and explore all the spaces in between. Milnor is a complete and total nonbeliever in social media and feels these platforms have done irreparable damage to human communication skills and attention span while unleashing a level of consumerism the planet simply cannot survive.
He currently works on a project-by-project basis with clients who are willing to spend the time required to create original artwork as opposed to trendy or temporary content. He also works as a creative adviser for companies with a story to tell. Milnor has taught at Art Center College of Design, Academy of Art University, The Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, The Los Angeles Center for Photography and the Photo Experience Workshops in Latin America. An early adopter of select technologies such as print-on-demand books and magazines, Milnor has created and published over two hundred unique titles.His work is in the collections of The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The George Eastman House and The Santa Barbara Museum of Art. He has lectured on photography and bookmaking in the United States, Europe, Canada, Latin America and Australia.
Show Notes

- Research your project.
- Take time to journal when you’re doing a project.
- The copy can be just as important as the photos.
