Daniel Blake

The hopeful romantic

Hello! My name is Daniel. I am a 28 year old freelance photographer based in the Hudson Valley. For the last few years my work has focused deeply on the emotional themes I find most compelling in my life: heartache, loneliness, love, and melancholy. My experience as a queer artist has continually shaped my approach to photography and helped me to develop my personal style. Since my days as a student I’ve found special fascination in capturing the endless oscillation of memory. I find a lot of meaning in the power of the mind to warp our realities in ways that we often love, and other times despise. I think we all desire to be understood by others in a way that often seems unattainable, which is why over all else I seek to communicate those inner thoughts and feelings through my photography. I am confident and proud to say I am pursuing my dreams and I want to capture yours in the process.
