I appreciated the diversity of skin colour represented on Dan's website and how amazing everyone looked. Being black, I wanted someone who understood lighting for my skin tone. Dan was personable and knowledgeable, he shared tricks with me to help me pose better. The best pictures I've ever had taken.

As a professional actor who has worked with many photographers, my session with Dan has been the best experience of my career. Finally, I have a gallery of headshots I feel confident submitting for agents and casting.

Getting your picture taken can feel kind of awkward but Dan made the whole process fun, comfortable and engaging. He provided us with many choices (poses, crops, lighting). We are very happy with how the photos turned out!

FAQ

Branding shoot questions

Studio or on location?

Either one, or both, can work. The studio gives us a controlled, polished look, and we can play with lighting and backdrops. Working on location, from $299, puts you in your own space, or somewhere iconic in Calgary, to add context to your photos. We can combine both options, so contact me for more information.

What should I bring?

Outfits that fit well and make you feel great, plus anything that tells your story: tools, products, a favourite jacket. We will talk it through before your session.

Can I use the images on social media and my website?

Yes. You get web ready and high resolution files of every image you purchase, in a range of crops.
