Among the artists photographed include: Johnny Cash, Tito Puente, Debbie Harry, Herbie Hancock, Ken Kesey, Rickie Lee Jones, Carlos Santana, George Clinton, Ween, David Crosby, David Byrne, Rufus Wainwright, Lucinda Williams, Morphine, Ben Harper , The Black Crowes, Erykah Badu, Beck, Los Lobos, TV on the Radio, Radiohead, BB King, Macy Gray, The Pogues, Pete Townsend, Queen Latifah, Sonic Youth, Katy Perry, Chris Isaak, and John Lee Hooker.

Dan Dion is both a nationally known music shooter, and the world's premier portrait photographer of comedians, with ongoing solo exhibitions of his work in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sydney, as well as an annual show at the prestigious Montreal Just for Laughs Festival. Locally, he is also the house photographer for The Warfield Theater, The Punch Line, and Cobb's Comedy Club. His work has been published in over 100 magazines, including Rolling Stone, Spin, Time, Newsweek, and Playboy. His first book, ¡Satiristas!, a collaboration with Paul Provenza (creator of The Aristocrats), will be published by HarperCollins in the spring.
