In March 2013, I followed a daring dream: leaving a secure IT job in London to chase portrait photography in the Czech Republic as an Englishman without the language or a safety net. It was a leap of faith, but deep down, it felt like destiny calling. With my wife Eva as my voice and our 3 month old daughter Amy as my inspiration, I let my passion and images speak for me.
No backups, no Plan B I poured my soul into mastering light, colors, styling, and authentic connections. Practicing on Amy, we styled shoots that anchored my emerging vision. By month six, clients flooded in, leading to our first studio; by year’s end, over 120 sessions. My excitement shone through every shoot, bridging language barriers and turning strangers into loyal fans.
Through 13 years of triumphs and trials pandemics, economic storms, and cultural shifts I’ve forged a resilient system: efficient, creative, and foolproof for delivering breathtaking results time after time. This isn’t just survival; it’s thriving on pure passion.
If I can build an empire from scratch in a foreign land, imagine what you can achieve with your vision. Let’s ignite yours together. Daniel Venter

Saved me a lot of headache from Windows Ink conflicting with PS! The trick with the canvas is just great, and also it’s nice to get a confirmation that I chose a simple Wacom Intuos S was a good decision 🙂

Thank you for introducing me to this! I purchased the Wacom Intuos Pro small tablet. It will take a little getting used to, but can already see that it will make detailed editing much easier! I’m enjoying all of the tutorials!

Another amazing video. A few years ago I’ve owned a Wacom tablet to edit. Just purchased the medium Wacom. This video was very helpful and I learned a thing or two 🙂 In the past my canvas would rotate and I never new why or how I accidentally rotated the canvas. Now I know how to rotate the canvas and it’s useful tips & tricks. The ah-ha moment for me was how to “reset view” back to the original orientation!!

This was the missing link to Windows Ink! Problem solved! Thanks, Daniel!
