About Dan

Hi, I’m Dan!

I’m a self-shooting director with my own kit, primarily working in branded content focused on real people, interview-led films, and story-driven b-roll.

One of my key strengths is working with non-professional talent — I’ve spent years refining an approach that helps people feel comfortable and authentic on camera.

Alongside this, I have strong experience in fashion and beauty, mainly studio-based, collaborating with brands such as M&S, Elemis, and Calvin Klein.
