What happens when you combine a tall, bearded, tattoo-covered guy with a keen interest in storytelling and a camera? Insert Daniel Njegich – one of Western Australia’s most in-demand photographers and videographers.
Following an early career in the events and music industry that saw him behind the scenes of some of Perth’s most infamous events and receive a degree in events management, the natural progression into the world of story-telling landed Daniel firmly behind the lens.
Having also received a Bachelor of Creative Industries majoring in photo media, and with a series local, national and international photography campaigns to his name, Daniel has spent over a decade telling visual stories across the travel, fashion and lifestyle industries.
Honest in his approach to his subjects, Daniel captures the raw beauty in the everyday experience from afar, preferring to blend into his surrounds and immerse himself in the detail of his subjects. A media and photography teacher at Perth’s only art-select school by day and a full-time photographer and videographer everywhere else – Daniel’s experience and commitment to the craft runs the full gamut of the photography and art industries.
With a keen interest in photojournalism and documentaries, the last few years have seen Daniel and his work celebrated on a national stage, winning the 2018 Sun Studios Emerging Photographer Awards for his body of work ‘Victims of Politics’, followed by the 2019 Revelation Film Festival Grant to produce his most recent documentary ‘Persia’s Pantry’.
In addition to his award-winning work, Daniel also possesses an innate passion for analogue photography, a passion which has seen a renaissance in the last few years, providing him with the ability to slow down and build patience as well as trust in his eye.
When he’s not busy teaching or shooting, Daniel spends his time exploring the far-flung corners of the globe, playing cricket or football in the local league, or telling you about the time it took his team 8 years to win their first cricket premiership.
A storyteller by nature and always up for a chat, Daniel relishes in getting to know his clients – so, get in touch, bring your ideas to the table and let him tell your story.
