Across our trips, we work alongside trusted local guides & long-term partners. That local knowledge influences where we position ourselves, when we wait, & how photographic opportunities are recognised before they fully unfold.
The other members of our guiding team are Alison, Conny, David, Ian, Johnny, Pui Hang & Robin.
How Dan works in the field
Trips led by Dan prioritise time with subjects, repeat encounters, & the flexibility to respond to changing conditions. When behaviour develops or light improves, the group stays with it rather than moving on to meet a timetable.
Guidance is shared quietly & at the point it matters, covering exposure choices, autofocus setup, shutter speed decisions, subject isolation, backgrounds, & composition. For those who want it, there is also support in building sequences that reflect behaviour rather than isolated moments.

Species Dan Loves Photographing
Every guide has their favourites – species they’re naturally drawn to, enjoy spending time with, & never tire of photographing. These are the species that Dan most enjoys photographing, & those they’ll always return to when the chance presents itself – Atlantic Puffin.
