Daniel Blake
Daniel Blake, the hopeful romantic
Daniel Blake is a young wedding and portrait photographer based in the Hudson Valley. For the last few years his work has focused deeply on the emotional themes he finds most compelling in his life: heartache, loneliness, love, and melancholy. Daniel's experience as a queer artist has continually shaped his approach to photography and helped him develop his personal style. Since his days as a student, he has found special fascination in capturing the endless oscillation of memory. Daniel finds a lot of meaning in the power of the mind to warp our realities in ways that we often love, and other times despise. Daniel believes we all desire to be understood by others in a way that often seems unattainable, which is why over all else Daniel seeks to communicate those inner thoughts and feelings through his photography. Daniel is confident and proud to say he am pursuing his dreams and wants to capture yours in the process.
Recent Conceptual Piece
Below, I will keep this up to date with my most recent conceptual self portrait. This one was taken in the Bird Sanctuary in New Paltz New York. I was enjoying a day out with a good friend of mine, and tattoo artist, Sam Crohn. It was a bit chilly but we were happy to flex our creative muscles as she painted and I flailed around in the field jumping and laying in the chilled grass. - October 2024
