BACK TO WORK

Hey, I'm Dan. I'm a photographer, director,
and visual artist in Los Angeles.

I work solo or with lean crews, both in-studio and on location. My work has shown up for brands like Mercedes-Benz, Coca-Cola, and Snapchat, labels like Parlophone and Dirty Hit, and publications like WIRED and The New York Times. But TBH? I have just as much fun shooting with indie brands, actors, musicians, and fellow weirdos making cool stuff.

Visually, I live somewhere between clean minimalism and cinematic, noir like shadows. You'll see a lot of in-camera slow shutter work in my book: frozen subjects, light trails, no Photoshop or AI gimmicks. And because I come from a graphic design background, I often design the accompanying key art and campaign collateral myself so the aesthetic doesn't get butchered on the way to the finish line.

My sets are calm, collaborative, and entirely ego-free. If you have a project that needs great visuals and you want the process to actually be fun, let's make something great together!
