Hi, I'm Dan—and I love taking pictures. It all started 15 years ago when I began submitting sports photos to local newspapers. That led to a summer internship while I was earning a degree in photojournalism.

While I continued to shoot, I also began working in Toronto's film industry as a lighting technician. I've had the good fortune to learn from some incredibly skilled professionals, and I do my best to bring that experience into my photography.

I'm passionate about the creative potential photography offers—and I aim to collaborate with others to create portraits that feel powerful, honest, and compelling.

My studio is in North York, near Dufferin and Steeles. It's an easy spot to get to whether you're coming from downtown or anywhere else in the GTA.
