For 4 years he was a partner in a co-operative photography gallery in Western Massachusetts. For 25 years he has worked as the camera operator with noted fine art photographer Gregory Crewdson. Throughout, he has made and shown images focused on documenting the landscapes and people in his life. Working with both film and digital cameras and utilizing various photographic processes from collodion wet plate to digital negatives he has embraced all that photography has to offer. Daniel has taught photography at Bard College at Simon’s Rock since 2014 as well as alternative processes workshops in various settings including the graduate photography program at Yale University.
