BIOGRAPHY

Photographer, Visualist, and Entrepreneur Daniel Gohstand is a native of San Francisco, California. Since childhood, Gohstand has pursued the creativity inherited from of a family of artists. A graduate of San Francisco State University with a Bachelor of Arts in photojournalism, Gohstand is renowned as an entrepreneur, professional photographer and drummer.

Gohstand has harnessed social media, turning an artistic business model into a commercial success via the means. He has exhibited, lectured, and tutored internationally, most recently in Guatemala, where he creates much of the year. Renowned for capturing powerful glimpses of human spirit, he has found social media an integral part of that communication. His artwork has taken him around the world, and given him unique insight into different cultures; it is through the command of social media that he is able to share these experiences with others.

“It’s critical nowadays to understand how these media work together, whether for personal or business use—integrating and focusing it to achieve your goal,” says Gohstand. “I harness the power of social media to keep in touch with friends of course, but also to disseminate my photography, promote art generally, grown my businesses, and increase awareness of humanitarian pursuits.” A portion of proceeds from his ImageSails company (the world’s first printed sails for art and advertising) are donated to bring medical aid to an Indigenous Mayan community near his Antigua, Guatemala studio.

Gohstand’s lectures are fun and creative, appealing to those of all ages and levels. Kind and approachable, and bilingual English/Spanish, he welcomes questions and input in either language.
