Bio:
After capturing an extremely rare phenomenon of a ‘Surfing Whale’, Daniel’s photography career was thrust into the spotlight in 2020. The spectacle of the Bryde’s Whale riding waves at Lennox Head on NSW’s North Coast became an internet sensation, being featured on esteemed platforms including World Surf League, Today Show Australia, Daily Mail and numerous other media outlets across the globe.

Daniel’s photography has remained authentic to its outdoor/water theme, capturing breath-taking images of sun-drenched ocean environments and outdoor adventures. However, building on his 20+ years in the Architectural industry, many of his current subjects are of the urban environment. His Architectural Photography portfolio includes stunning images of Architectural designs, high-end renovations & fit outs, detailed joinery and designer details which communicate the look and feel of a space. His photography of NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages was Shortlisted for the INDE Awards - Commercial Photographer 2025.

Daniel's photography toolkit is diverse, including waterproof housings, drone photography and videography.
