About Dan
My passion for photography has drawn me across the globe, from photographing rugby players in my own backyard of Boston, to shooting todays top models sporting gigantic avant-garde hair sculptures, or capturing portraits of the people of Cambodia. I never tire from the wonder of a new place, a new face and a new story.
The story behind the photo or video is really the most important thing to me, and conveying these stories is what I’m driven to do, day after day. I always strive for an authentic feeling, whether it be in the most simple of portraits to the most heavily composited image. Capturing moments and telling stories is what I love, and I am eager for you to let me tell yours.

Quick post today with a before and after, (mouse over to see unretouched image)
I wanted this image to have a vintage, disco look yet still feel modern. A little modern Diana Ross-y
I added a film grain look, along with the vintage cross processed look with Nik Color effect 4. Then thought after the fact that I wanted lens flares, if I had added the lens flare after the grain the flare would have no grain and therefore anything beyond would just look fake.
QUICK TIP: When experimenting with filters I always make my working layer a smart object, you can simply drag and rearrange the filters to affect the image in the proper order.
Since I was mainly testing these 2 filters not much else was done to the image, a little cleanup and a darker version of the shirt overlayed to bring back tone.
I was testing a few new filters -
Nik Color effects 4 - (which is great!!)
and
Knoll Light Factory for Photoshop - A very popular plug-in for After Effects, has this little brother for Photoshop that gives you all sorts of options for going crazy on an image. Very cool but $150 for lens-flares may not be fore everyone
What do you think??
Thanks
DAN

Although, I have not ever played Rugby I have always admired the sport.
I started this personal Project working with the Boston Rugby Football Club last month,
shooting portraits of the players in a raw, honest post game state. Dirt still caked on their
faces, bloody and bruised. Still pumped and ready to fight, or laughing at the battle they
just endured, I had a chance to see the game for more than 30 guys on the field hitting as
hard as they can, I got to see the individual personalities of the team.
I want to thank Glynn MacKenzie, President of the BRFC for helping us put this
all together.
There are many more images to come, check back for a full preview of the project soon.
