In February this year I exhibited a new body of fine art work in Melbourne at the gallery I am currently represented by, Catherine Asquith Gallery. I wanted to then bring the show back home to canberra, back to the gallery that gave me my start in the fine art photography world, Photoacces {Huw Davies Gallery}.

So last month, I did. The opening night was amazing, it was so good to see so many familiar (and some unfamiliar) faces and it was nice to see that not a drop of wine went to waste. Below are some of the images that were on display. The first set of 11 images were all shot on film and are displayed at a minimum size of 120mm on the longest side (editions of 5). The second set of square images were shot on my travels (all but one shot digitally). I want to take this opportunity to thank the models in my images, all those that made it along to the exhibition (in both melbourne and canberra) and I would like to give a huge shout to to Jocelyn Rosen who was generous enough to open my show with some beautiful words.

To anyone out there that is sitting on a collection of personal work, you should get it up onto a wall as soon as you can. It’s really quite liberating.

So I guess this is more evidence that wedding photographers aren't just hack photographers like some people would like to believe. :) Amazing work Dan, I really love the consistent theme you have throughout the work. The 2nd picture down is my winner, but it's not a competition so it doesn't really matter. :)
