Dan is a photographer based in Seattle, WA

With hopes of being a photojournalist, he began his career photographing coup d'états and music in Thailand, while photo editing at Bangkok University's paper and magazine. After moving back to the United States, Dan transitioned to editorial and commercial work, living in Atlanta, NYC, Boulder, and the SF Bay Area. Moving between cultures and communities fostered his curiosity and appreciation for difference and novelty.

He spent eight years as an art director at agencies like Camp + King, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, and Saatchi & Saatchi, helping clients bring home golden lions and brand loyalty. But in 2022, he came back to the creative role he loves most (vendor) for the diversity of subjects, stories, and artistic collaboration it offers. The detour to hiring photographers led Dan to better understand clients' brands, strategic and creative briefs, and the teams shepherding concepts to life.

Dan rarely writes in the third-person and prefers to focus on work and personal interests, including: time with his partner and family, off-leash dog areas, soccer, dinghy sailing, and travel.
