Photographer / Digital Artist

Media & Entertainment

I am an experienced advertising specialist and lifetime creative whose tool of choice is the camera. My photographic style has been described as clean, innovative and energetic.

As a commercial photographer and flow-state enthusiast with a passion for creating inspiring imagery – my love for adventure has always found its way into my professional work. Whether it’s a product image, an active lifestyle shot, or an authentic portrait, I carry creative solutions in my back pocket.

I love collaboration and capturing photographs that deliver results for a diverse range of businesses and organizations. Clients say I make them feel comfortable, and consistently express appreciation for my integrity, professionalism and ability to drive results.

In all my work, I draw on my background as a digital artist in the marketing department of Disney Online Studios and my 10+ years as a graphic designer to ensure effectiveness of composition, message delivery and visual impact. At Disney, I worked with world-renowned brands like Star Wars, Marvel, and Club Penguin. Past and current clients of Daniel Jones Photography include top-level west coast organizations such as Accelerate Okanagan, SunRype, Destination BC and Mega Build Lab.

My mission is to use all my expertise to tell your unique story — to create inspirational photographs that enhance your brand. I will go above and beyond to create work that meets your objectives and helps you to achieve your goals.
