1986. Daniel’s bedroom.
At age 11 Daniel’s father bought him his first enlarger, the Zenith UPA5M.
In James Bond fashion it all screwed together from out of a briefcase.
Daniel was hooked.
36 years later that passion is still growing strong…
Daniel Allen
Daniel was given his first camera (a Russian Zenit) when he was 8, joined a camera club at 10, built his first darkroom at 11 and has been a passionate image maker ever since. Originally from the UK Daniel has made New Zealand his home where he runs a full service studio and post production facility from his Nelson base.
Shooting throughout New Zealand and the Asia Pacific regions Daniel has a wealth of experience either stepping off the plane and getting the job done or turning up to the studio ready for a days graft.
When he’s not looking through a viewfinder Daniel is a passionate gardener, an aficionado of antiquities and ancient cultures, enjoys a good espresso martini and loves to travel.
