Hey there,
I’m Daniel, a commercial photographer in Central Ohio.
​​​
I am a problem solver at heart and have a fierce passion for what I do. I have 10+ years of experience working in the marketing and creative industry, yet am constantly seeking improvement. During my time leading photography teams, I have excelled at fixing broken processes and eliminating wasted staff hours by creating style guides, establishing standards and best practices, and creating data-based reporting.
​
I believe in consistently achieving excellence through organization, innovation, and keeping up with current and upcoming technology. I am also a perfectionist, so while I embrace experimentation, I value quality.
​
In an agency capacity, I have experience in leading studio departments and teams of freelancers. In an in-house capacity, I have experience managing photo teams and all aspects of a company's photo and video conceptualization, production, and implementation.
​
Through my years of professional experience, I have found I am especially skilled at adapting to changes and issues that arise within a project. I am a people-focused leader who excels at inspiring and guiding teams to stay on track, meet deadlines, and achieve our goals. My leadership style emphasizes collaboration, clear communication, and fostering a positive work environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to our collective success.
