Hi Dan! Tell us about yourself in two sentences - who are you?
I'm a British television cameraman and editor working and living in New York City. But my main passion lies in photography. I snap what I can in my spare time.
QWhat's the weirdest situation you've found yourself in while taking a photograph?
A Never really a dull moment when taking my photographs. Quite often I like to get down low on the ground looking for a new perspective and funky angles on things. I've been urinated on by dogs and drenched by passing yellow cabs through puddles. But my finest hour was causing a huge human pile up at grand central station whilst taking a low angle shot of the escalators. And yes I was under that pile of people with my Nikon. Oh how to piss off New Yorkers.
QWhat do you shoot on? What's your favourite set up?
AI actually shoot on a few cameras. My main camera to date is the new Nikon D810. Amazing for landscapes due to its 36megapixel sensor and amazing dynamic range. And my trusty sony rx100 m3. I never leave home without it. Oh and there always my iPhone5s
QWhat's your number one tip for an aspiring photographer?
A Always shoot raw to get the best out of your camera and images. And if you're bored of shooting in the same locations ... Try going out at night time, those same locations can have a whole new feel to them in the night. (Take a tripod... It's dark out)

"My favourite image I've taken and uploaded to Picfair is my Manhattan skyline at sunrise. I just love the colours and the calm and tranquil feeling it has for a city that is known for never sleeping. So much so I've had this image blown up and printed on a 85" wide plexiglass and mounted in my house." Read less
