He reads light and location with a practiced eye—combining studio control where needed with environmental touches that tell a fuller story. His work often sits between editorial and environmental portraiture, giving commercial portraits a considered, narrative edge without losing the focus required for business use. How he works: every brief starts with a conversation. Daniel will discuss your goals, audience and the look you want to achieve, then recommend a straightforward plan—studio or on-location in and around Bushey and the wider London area. On shoot day he sets a relaxed tone, guiding posture and expression while encouraging natural moments that feel genuine. Post-shoot, images are carefully edited to preserve tone and skin integrity, delivering polished files ready for corporate, agency or online use. Though portrait and business work are his primary focus, Daniel also shoots editorial and event projects for brands and agencies—bringing the same emphasis on narrative and authenticity to those assignments. Off-camera he’s driven by a love of storytelling, coffee, and long walks with his dog, Alfie. If you’re seeking a specialist portrait photographer in Bushey who creates professional, characterful headshots and business portraits, Dan Gard Photo offers a collaborative, expert approach that produces images people remember.
