Mini bio
How it started.
Daniel began taking photography seriously in 2014 while spending a year in New Zealand. Its landscapes drew him outdoors, and sharing those experiences grew into his work as a photographer.
Finding an audience.
His travel photographs found an early home on Instagram. By April 2016, The Standard reported that almost 150,000 people followed his journeys, including trips to New Zealand, the Faroe Islands and Norway.
Life behind the films.
Daniel now makes photographs and films in remote landscapes, especially in the Nordic regions. He shares many journeys with fellow creative Tashi and their dog Odin. Their joint YouTube channel, North of Us, follows their travels through films about hiking, sailing and wildlife.
From personal journeys to commissions.
Alongside his own travel films, Daniel works on commercial projects. His portfolio includes Canon, DJI, Ponant, Lufthansa and Mercedes-Benz. His Canon project Frozen Horizons took him to Antarctica, while Same Wind, New Story revisited Patagonia.
