About Me

Original Visual Individual.

I have recently moved from my California home base of 19 years down to Texas. I recently bought a new house/ studio near the Dallas area in 2024, and it's been great to shoot out of my new spacious location with lots of natural light! 

For 2026 I will be doing very few shoots as I am taking somewhat of a hiatus from photography / shoots for the year to focus on my art and writing projects. If the timing is ideal for me and/ or your look or shoot ideas are exceptional, I can probably make room on my calendar, so please don't hesitate to still contact me.  I am also trying to shoot new faces more than working with the same models over and over again.

I am currently interested in capturing images of or related to: Vintage/ retro style photography (1920's, 1950's & 1980's) Goth subculture, CyberPunk, Comicbook Cosplay, sexy geeks, Pin-ups, contemporary urban, Pulp/ Film Noir style, Science Fiction, Fetish, or anything edgy, gritty and exciting. I will honor any boundaries requested during a shoot, and always treat my models with professionalism and respect.

While I do use photoshop on some of my images, I don't care for super airbrushed or filtered pictures, and try to do any effects "in camera". I'm a sucker for old-school film cameras and usually bring at least one along to shoot with, secondary to the digital shots.

****************************************************
It's time to make all kinds of cool sexy art again, hopefully with all types of beautiful fresh faces and talent! I got into shoots with models around 2009 and have truly missed it recent years, especially when the pandemic brought it to a standstill. I don't know how many up and coming models will/ still use Model Mayhem (as opposed to insta), but I hope to discover many of you, with the same enthusiasm as when I first got into shoots many years ago.

"Daniel is such a dedicated artist- both in his day job of graphic design where he excels, but also in his photography, where he shows an indestructible determination to make each shoot count; for each interaction with the model to grow his art, and respects models as equals in artistic calibre. This mixed in with a great focus prepared for the shoot, with a little room to experiment and a friendly, if not a bit shy demeanor that instantly sets you at east. He also has great taste in music, and I learn a new favorite band each time I shoot with him. We've become real pals- I've hosted him in my Brooklyn apartment, and we've even become 'old-fashioned-pen-pals', albeit it is a talent that he surpasses me in!" Read less
