Dan Charles - About me

Hey, I'm Danny.

I was sixteen when I got my hands on my first camera. Back then, it was just a hobby, but it quickly became a bit of an obsession. I found myself less interested in "pretty" pictures and more engrossed in how a single image could actually shift someone's mood. 

​

Over the last twelve years, that hasn't changed. I’ve realised that the photos I’m most proud of are the ones that play with dualities. I love the tension you find when you put something grand next to something incredibly subtle, or when you find a complex story hidden in a simple frame.

​

Whether I’m out in the middle of nowhere or sitting across from a person in a studio, I’m looking for that same thing: the friction between nature and humanity, or the light and the dark. I don't want to just document what's in front of me; I want to create a feeling or a story in the viewer that is looking at my work and let it linger in the room.  For me, it’s always been about that emotional hook; the part of the photo that makes you stop scrolling and actually look.
