An experienced editor, publisher, photo buyer, feature writer, and production manager, Dale Shank has used photos and words to tell stories all of his professional life.
A pool and billiards aficionado and contributing photographer/writer for Pool & Billiard Magazine, Dale is keenly interested in capturing the sport’s special flavor. He is drawn to the extreme range of lighting at professional pool tournaments and has captured that lighting to striking advantage in action portraits of some of the game’s top players, including Jasmin Ouschan, Shane Van Boening, Allison Fisher, Ralf Soquet, Francisco Bustamante, Xiaoting Pan, and Kelly Fisher.
Environmental photography is another passion that complements his work as an ecologist involved with wildlife, wetland and stream restoration projects.
Born in Oregon, Dale has lived in Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Bangor and other US and Canadian cities. Dale and his wife Mary Ann have traveled to Africa for photo safaris in Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa and have made many photographic, cultural and medical expeditions to Central and South America. They have a special affinity for the indigenous Wounaan people of Panama’s remote Darien Province who have welcomed Dale as the photographer of two tribal congresses.
Years of photography in challenging locations have given Dale an appreciation for the art of efficiently and cost-effectively capturing high impact photos. His photos have appeared in magazines, newspapers and books. Dale is available for photographic assignments throughout the US and Latin America.
