About Daniel

I believe authenticity begins with honest connection. The true story starts when you put the lens down and listen. Whether my focus is a schoolchild in Rwanda or a CEO in Nashville, I seek to know and understand people and earn the right to tell others' stories — diving in and fully immersing myself in their experiences before I ever begin to assess the lighting. Honest photography can only happen when the story is honored and the people are dignified.

My photography work began while on trips with international relief organizations. I began to notice the beautiful stories unfolding all around me and I felt called to capture what I saw. Through that experience I discovered a passion for telling stories in a unique way — seeking to remove my mark so only the beauty and honesty of the story remains on display. Every moment is sacred, and deserves to be treasured. I strive to capture these moments in photos that are not only seen, but felt and experienced.
