Hey stranger, looks like something went slightly wrong, and you landed on this website. But since you’re here, I’m just going to talk a little about myself: I’m an independent Creative Director and Filmmaker based in New York. I’m Portuguese, was born in Germany and have been living in the US since 2013. I strive to create meaningful projects that positively impact people’s lives. I mostly fail. I’ve worked for places including Wieden+Kennedy, Droga5, VICELAND, Anomaly, Mother and many others. Someone also thought it was a good idea to let me teach at Miami Ad School and Berghs School of Communication. My work has won some shiny trophies, was exhibited at the International Center of Photography and featured on ABC News, The Guardian, MTV, Buzzfeed and Nowness. I'm obsessed with people, their quirks, passions, and dreams. The weirder, the better.

Photography Series 2019
“Inspired by the quirks and oddities of humanity and the following quote from Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman: “To suffer fifty weeks of the year for the sake of a two week vacation, when all you really desire is to be outdoors with your shirt off”, Daniel spent a summer exploring Coney Island’s beach and amusement park, photographing the fascinating characters he came across.“
