Daniel is all about beautiful light and a compelling story. He is a director of photography for fiction films, commercials, documentaries and music videos as well as a technology-obsessed, life-long geek. He has shot a number of narrative and documentary films and he is a member of the film faculty at Maine Media College where he connects students with stories through the relationship of light to space.
