Hi, I’m Daniel – a photographer and director based in Santa Cruz, California.
My work centers on sense of place, capturing the connection between landscape, lifestyle, and the people moving through it. I work across brand and commercial projects in the outdoor space, surf-driven travel, luxury hotels, and destination campaigns for tourism boards, creating both still photography and motion-led stories. My approach emphasizes natural light, atmosphere, and understated moments.
When I’m not on assignment, I’m usually chasing light along the coast, spending sunset sessions in the water, or hanging out with my family. Available for campaigns and projects locally and worldwide.
