Daniel & Karen, Localgrapher in Melbourne

Style:

My photography approach is to let pure emotions and moments be alive and candidly capture them, so I will be reading clients’ expressions and situations to know when to photograph them. I also mix posing in a natural way taking advantage of natural light. I will be there to encourage clients to be themselves and to enjoy the visit in Melbourne.

Likes:

I love soccer and being with people, when i was little, I use to stay up to midnight playing soccer with my friends in the neighborhood. Nothing like quality time having fun and making memories.

I am civil engineer but also photographer, I found those two passions and work really well together as engineering has given me a sort of framing and composition skills when capturing moments.

I do serve in my local church as photographer, welcoming new people in church and translating the services. I could say those are my fav things to do every week. Now looking forward to start my leader pathway in church!

Recommended places:

There are so many options when mentioning Melbourne. It also depends on the time the traveller is staying in Melbourne for.

However, if travellers are visiting for first time, the CBD is without a doubt an iconic place to go. There are countless places, lanes, parks where we could go, my fav places are all the iconic parts of Melb but lanes are my favourites; from the ones with grafittis to the ones without them, are just great for photos.

Going to the near suburbs, you can find beautiful spots and unique streets, architecture and so on. One of my fav suburbs is St Kilda, you have access to the beach with amazing piers full of boats and amazing restaurants and cafes around. Brunswick is a very cool option, it is not close to the beach but its colour and arty style is something that captures my eyes. Carlton, home to amazing Italian restaurants is also a very nice place to visit. Again, there is so many fav places.

Going a bit further, Macedon Ranges are a great place to visit where you can find popular streets such as the Honour Av, the Hanging Rock and some forest sceneries. Brighton Beach, a very popular beach for its little and colour bath houses are also a great place, and going further, Frankston Mornington Peninsula and Sorrento.

Far away from the CBD are the breathtaking 12 Apostles, the Great Ocean Road and places such as Lorne, Anglesea, Torquay, Apollo Bay along the way. The National Parks and so on.
