Every artist has their muses. For Dan, the key inspirations are Matt Stuart and Dimpy Bhalotia.
Both of them are renowned street photographers, with Bhalotia particularly known for infusing her photographs with motion and excitement.
The impact of such stalwarts is evident in Dan's work, where every click tells a story.

It's fascinating how Dan's photographic journey hasn’t been majorly about project work, but he's enthusiastic about shifting that focus in the days to come.
So, what's next for him? Storytelling! In the next five years, Dan aspires to shed light on the positive changes and progressions in society.
Dan uses a Fujifilm XT3 paired with a 35mm f2 lens, capturing moments that resonate with his vision.
When asked about what sets his work apart, he humbly expresses that he loves his unique workflow and doesn't aim to segregate himself from other photographers.
After all, as he puts it, "we're all in this together."

Ah, coffee! The favorite beverage of many, including Dan.
Every morning, he relishes a coffee, prepared with either a Chemex or V60 if he’s at home.
But it's not just about sipping a drink; it's a ritual. Without any distractions, this is his introspective moment, where most of his creative sparks fly.
As for his favorite roast? He loves it rich and smooth. But does he have a favorite brand? "Nah," he says.
When asked about his interest in the Coffee x Cameras series, he quips, "I love coffee. I love cameras. Charlie isn't too bad either ha!"
