Daniel

I’m a photographer and videographer based near Jacksonville, North Carolina.

I photograph people and make short films. The work is usually portraits, seniors, couples, athletes, theater, and local businesses.

I pay attention, let the moment unfold, and stay out of the way when that’s what the picture needs. I want photographs and films that feel honest, the kind you come back to.

Working with me is straightforward. We talk about what you need, I show up ready, and I don’t over-direct.

I started photographing as a child, put the camera down for sports as a teenager, and picked it up again after having kids.

Most sessions are nearby. I’ll travel when the idea and the budget both make sense.

Theater documentary from this work is published as The Auditorium on YouTube at @TheAuditoriumNC.
