Hey, I’m Dylan Dankel.

I’m a filmmaker and portrait photographer from Bartlett, Illinois. Ever since I was a kid, I took any chance I could to steal the camera and take photos of my friends and family. My natural draw to all things photography - and later videography - led me to the BEACON Academy of South Elgin High School where I’ve grown within the creative space of digital media and progressed my passion for the visual arts. Thanks to their program, I’m now studying Cinematic Arts at Indiana University - Bloomington.
