an Woolsey was raised in Washington DC. He studied in Austria, Spain, and Italy before receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology from The Colorado College. After working as a corporate investigator in London, he moved to New York to start a career in film.

From humble beginnings as an intern and PA, Dan quickly pushed himself into the camera department of his first feature film. From there he climbed the ranks of the camera world from loader to 2nd AC to 1st AC, then operator and finally as a Director of Photography.

Dan started lighting for film, but has learned that times and markets change and has lit for video extensively as well. He has done several projects on HD 24p – truly the threshold of the battle between film and video.

Dan’s style for narrative film tends to be dark and moody, but can adapt to any shooting scenario. Dan is a young emerging talent with different projects going on and set up for the near future.
