Selected Work

How the session works

A portrait session should feel directed, collaborative and clear. I shape each shoot around the person, the purpose of the images and the atmosphere we want to create.

1. Conversation & concept - We start with a short call to understand what you want the images to say, where they will be used and what kind of session will suit you best. From there we build a mood board and plan.

2. Studio or location - I work from high-quality rented studios and selected locations in Berkshire, London and internationally, with clear direction throughout the session.

3. Selection and delivery - You choose from a curated set and receive finished digital or print images after edit and retouching.

What clients say

Clients often come to me wanting something more personal than a standard portrait. These are short excerpts from current client testimonials.

"The work has soul"
"A master at his craft"
"Easy, comfortable, beautiful art direction"

About Dan

Portraits shaped by drama, movement and a borderless view of people

I am a creative portrait and body photographer based in Maidenhead, Berkshire, working across Berkshire, London and internationally.

My work is built around dramatic lighting, expressive perspective and the architecture of faces and bodies. Formerly based in Hong Kong, I bring an international body of work and a borderless view of portraiture: where gender, age, location, time and style can blend into images with atmosphere and presence.

Whether the session is for a private portrait, a creative professional or a movement-led brief, the aim is the same: to create images that feel considered, personal and alive.
