Dan Estabrook, born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, developed an early passion for photography during his teenage years. Inspired by underground punk rock and skateboarding magazines from the 1980s, he began exploring the medium as a creative outlet. He studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and later attended Harvard University, where he focused on alternative photographic processes under the mentorship of photographer Christopher James. Estabrook earned his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Following his academic training, he worked and taught in various locations, including Illinois, Boston, and Florida, before ultimately settling in Brooklyn, New York.
Estabrook’s artistic interests span photography, sculpture, painting, and drawing. He is especially known for blending contemporary themes with nineteenth-century photographic techniques, creating work that thoughtfully bridges history and modernity. His art often explores themes of intimacy, identity, and emotional complexity through meticulous craftsmanship and analog processes.
In 1994, Estabrook was awarded an Artist’s Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, recognizing his contributions to contemporary photography. His work has been widely exhibited and is represented by the Catherine Edelman Gallery in Chicago. In 2009, he was featured in Anthropy Arts’ “Photographers Series,” a documentary series highlighting innovative and influential photographic artists.
Dan Estabrook is also known for his relationship with actress Megan Boone, best known for her role as FBI agent Elizabeth Keen in the NBC series The Blacklist, which premiered in 2013. The show centers on the collaboration between Keen and a notorious criminal, Raymond Reddington. During the third season, Boone’s real-life pregnancy influenced the show’s storyline, leading to a temporary departure of her character. She later returned in the season finale.
On April 15, 2016, Estabrook and Boone welcomed their daughter, Caroline Boone Estabrook. Boone shared glimpses of their daughter on social media, offering rare insights into their personal life. The couple is engaged, though they have expressed a view that marriage should happen only when both partners feel ready. Estabrook and Boone emphasize mutual respect, support, and communication as the foundation of their relationship.
Estabrook is notably private, preferring to let his work speak for itself. Despite being the partner of a prominent actress, he maintains a low public profile. While his net worth is not publicly disclosed, Boone’s is estimated to be around $3 million. Estabrook often speaks about misconceptions surrounding photography, emphasizing that it is a discipline built on knowledge, technique, and continuous study—beyond simply owning a camera. Though spontaneous moments have value, he believes true photography requires intentionality and craft.
