"Dan does fantastic work! We've hired him on multiple occasions to photograph the Lakeside Pride Symphonic Band, both for formal group photos as well as candid "action" shots during performances. Logistically, he's prompt, he's organized, he blends in seamlessly, and he returns albums efficiently. Artistically, I can always count on Dan to just make it happen! He finds the right perspectives without further prompting, and his end results are beautiful. His rates are reasonable, and he's an all-around wonderful person to work with."

"I cannot recommend Dan enough for your photography projects.
He was my go to photographer in Chicago - headshots and photographs for my art pro-folio. He takes his time to read the energy and the ascetics of the room and has an innate ability to place his subjects for optimal aesthetic appeal.
He has a keen skill set to read the bigger picture while also honoring the details that matter and convey a message. To boot, he always hits a deadline, is fast, but doesn’t rush, accommodating, has soothing energy, and the results are an incredible value for the buck."
