GlamModelz Magazine: Let’s get started Dan!  Tell me about your background…how did you get started in Photography?  Dan: It all started back in high school, I was big into skateboarding, and I always loved the skateboard magazines with the skater grinding  a handrail frozen in motion… I always wondered how the photographer was able to achieve those stunning shots. So I took courses at New York Institute of Photography and started shooting nature and moved onto working with models.

GlamModelz Magazine: Why Glamour /Beauty?  What other genre’s and styles interest you? Dan: Glamour is a very popular genre, I recently been getting into more fashion/beauty.

GlamModelz Magazine: What or who inspires you as a photographer?  Dan: – Images in different magazines, other established photographers, it motivates me every day to go out and get the best shots I can.

GlamModelz Magazine: What was your most humorist experience shooting in the field?  Dan: Shooting a model in an indoor skate and bmx park. We were in the half pipe shooting and all these people came up to the model asking for pictures and autographs, people coming up to me and chatting, we had a decent sized crowd checking out the shoot, it was just an awesome experience.

 GlamModelz Magazine: What challenges do you face in this industry?  What would you change about it, if you could?  Dan: It’s a very competitive industry which forces you to become more artistic at a fast pace. If I could change anything it would be the “egos” some people have in the industry there’s just no need for it.

GlamModelz Magazine: What equipment is essential for you as a glamour photographer, to capture your “best shot”?  Dan: I would have to say a sharp lens, better glass makes sharper images, it makes it that much easier having super sharp images in post.

GlamModelz Magazine: Paid vs. TF* shoots – What are your views and preferences? Dan: Well TF is good for portfolio building, for paid of course we all like to make money in the industry, if there’s a model whose look I would like to have in my portfolio I don’t mind paying, so both apply to different situations.

GlamModelz Magazine: What are your goals for your photography?  Other goals?   Dan: To shoot other genres, travel the world,
