Photographer Overview
Born and raised in the North East of England with a passion for TV and film, this clearly influenced the vision and story telling of Dan's work.
Starting with a great love of photojournalism from the likes of Tom Stoddart and James Nachtwey to portraiture photographer Anton Corbijn, Dan cut his teeth assisting in London
"I find filmmaking really is the best way to tell any story with such depth. Building the narrative, creating structure and finding the story. You are involved in every part of the puzzle from music, pacing and emotion. I love the challenge."
A natural transition into film working on personal short stories ignited Dan's curiosity giving the opportunity directing tv ads as well creating his first feature length documentary, Don Don Strong (Available On Demand).
Having won awards in the photography world, Dan is now proud to have added accolades for his film and documentary work.
