He is energetic in his photography and has been known to sit on a hillside below Pen y Fan all night to photograph the stars. He has camped near Pen y Fan in a -27 degree C wind chill for sunrise and occasionally gets up at 3am to get to photograph Gower beaches.

He has been published around the world and his work is on many walls around Wales and beyond. As well as running Photography Workshops for all aspects of Landscape Photography, he regularly attends local markets and events. Dan has an intimate knowledge of the landscape and his love for it shows through in his work.
