Hello, I'm Dan, a husband, a father, and a photographer with a lifelong passion for capturing life through a lens. Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of the High Peak, Derbyshire, I find inspiration all around me.
My love affair with photography began in my teenage years, when I saved every penny for my first film camera. The '80s saw me at Erith Technical College in Kent, where I learned the fundamentals of this art form. From those early days of film photography through to digital have shaped my appreciation for every shot I take.
Life took me on an incredible journey through the entertainment industry, where I spent over twenty-five years. However, my heart always pulled me back to photography. Making the leap to become a full-time photographer wasn't just a career change; it was the fulfillment of a dream that had been simmering since those college days.
I believe in the power of photography to freeze moments in time, to tell stories without words. Whether I'm freezing the laughter at a family gathering, the intensity of an event, or the raw emotion of a special occasion, I dive in with all my passion. My work isn't just about taking pictures; it's about connecting with people and moments, making memories tangible.
Experience: With decades of diverse experiences, my background in both the arts and entertainment industries brings a unique perspective to my photography.
Passion: Every click of my camera is driven by a genuine love for storytelling through imagery.
Local Heart, Global Perspective: Being rooted in the beauty of Derbyshire while having an understanding of broader cultural contexts allows me to bring a nuanced approach to my work.
