About Dan

I'm an Outdoor and adventure Photographer based in Portland Oregon. I love telling great visual stories about how it feels to be in this place, at this moment, with these people. 

My style and approach is direct, clean, classic, and true.

I love authentic moments with beautiful light and I spend an awful lot of time hunting them down.

I’m also a commercial photographer and you can see that work at danhawkphotography.com

I'm missing warm summer nights right about now. So happy I was able to spend a few nights out under the stars to capture this crazy comet! Remember how we were all out looking into the Northern skies last month night after night? Well, I might have
Oregon is truly a fascinating place. We have everything from Raging Rivers that end in jaw-dropping waterfalls, to dramatic jagged coast lines, to high desert plains filled with sage. But This is truly the most fascinating area in Oregon to me.
You ever spend time watching something so breathtaking that you just can’t believe it’s real?

That was this morning. From sunrise at just before 6am all the way till 10am, I barely took my eyes off this view. The light was constantly ch
