Meet Daniel – Your Guide to Professional Portrait Photography
I’m Daniel, a full-time portrait photographer and educator dedicated to helping photographers worldwide elevate their craft.
Since launching my professional career in 2013, I’ve built two successful photography businesses and captured thousands of client sessions across genres — from engagements and weddings to families, maternity, and newborns.
My work has been recognized internationally, including as a Grand Jury Winner on Viewbug.
Through real-world experience, I’ve developed proven frameworks for mastering natural light, client direction, consistent editing, and emotional storytelling — without relying on presets.
Now, I share these exact techniques through my membership: in-depth classes with behind-the-scenes shoots, downloadable RAWs, and step-by-step workflows designed to transform your skills and deliver client-booking results.
Whether you’re building a business or capturing family memories, join me to see the world through a professional lens and create award-worthy portraits.

The image sharpness in Dan’s work has always had an appeal and as such this is the very first video to watch upon joining. The simplistic approach in teaching, compositions in natural light and simple post-production of each capture sets his workflow apart from the rest. Cheers!
