His primary work at the Museum is teaching public workshops in a variety of 19th century photographic techniques. His extensive research in the evolution of silver gelatin emulsions is internationally recognized and has placed him in a unique position to teach the techniques of making, photographic papers, dry plate glass negatives and early 20th century era motion picture film. Brandreth applies his knowledge and expertise to his personal vision.

He considers himself an artist with a distinctive sensitivity for dealing with nuances of light and color.  His concern with photography lies in coaxing insight from the seemingly ordinary. Dan has developed  ongoing bodies of work that separately, or when grouped together with specificity, might suggest an implied narrative.
