About

I’m Dan, an outdoor and astrophotographer based in New Zealand. My work covers everything from long-exposure Milky Way landscapes and deep-space to wildlife and motorsport. I’m driven by the challenge of capturing natural light—whether it's a passing aurora, a quiet wildlife moment, or faint details from galaxies millions of light-years away.
