1987. 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…

A man with short blond hair wearing a black shirt and beaded necklace looks at a remote control in his hands, surrounded by five children of African descent in an outdoor rural setting with lush greenery and traditional thatched huts.

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.

Beyond the lens, Daniel is an avid gardener, passionate about ancient cultures, a keen golfer and footballer, and a lover of contemporary art. Dawn is his favorite time of the day.
