PHOTOGRAPHY
I have come to really love working with and photographing people at events large and small. My favorite part is meeting new people and tailoring their images to fit their style. I am just as comfortable shooting on a stage in front of thousands of rock fans, as I am capturing time-less shots of Grandma eating apple pie at the home-style wedding. My technique and philosophy has remained fairly consistent. I believe it is important to get right in there, get the shot and then move on. I am quietly present when the photographic moment arrives and elusive when it is not.
DESIGN
My photography led me into graphic design. I enjoy creating everything from logo design to brochures, record covers, posters and ads to website design. I work on a Mac and use the Adobe Creative Suite along with some other bits of software I have accumulated over the years. I truly enjoy seeing a clients vision become a beautiful reality.
What some of my clients have said about my work:
"Daniel,
We wanted to thank you for making our day so special. The pictures were amazing and exactly what we wanted. Good luck in all your future endeavors!
Sincerely,
Rob and Kacey"

"I produce The Northeast Kingdom Music Festival in Northeastern Vermont.
This past year, Daniel Straine was hired by us to provide photography
services for our two-day festival. Daniel was extremely professional and
his work was exemplary. I would highly reccomend him for serving your
concert-photography/videography needs."
Best,
Ed DuFresne

"We've been working with Dan for serveral years now at River Arts. He produces a wonderful blend of dynamic photography that is enhanced by his graphic design sense. Dan's creative work is more valuable to us because of his openness to our needs, and his ability to add a value to projects that we hadn't imagined beforehand."

"Danny Straine was the only photographer we knew that actually
went to college for photo-journalism. He brings not only passion into his craft but also the technical knowledge to get the job done. We first met Daniel at one of his photography exhibits in Jericho,VT where he was showing some of his latest landscape works. His friendly, outgoing personality made us want to work with him. Daniel Straine far exceeded our expectations for our wedding day."

"You sometimes forget that Dan is even there. He gets all the best shots at the most important times, but you do not notice him. I guess it is from being a photojournalist for so many years working with rock bands."
