ALL PHOTOS COPYRIGHT 2006-2008 TO ME, DANIEL HOYT. LOGOS BY AMBER FULLER.
My name's Daniel Hoyt, and Danger Ninja Productions to me is a few things - it is freedom, truth and art that focuses not only on my desires as a photographer, but yours as a model. My work is geared towards professional modeling and portfolio building, though I never limit myself in terms of expression and just having fun with one of the most beautiful arts around, and I expect the same out of those whom I work with.
I love finding the glamorous or artistic side of every model I shoot and bringing it out for everyone to see. Everyone has their own form of expressing their beauty through photos, and I intend to capture as much of it as possible.
Even if you've never modeled, or are currently aspiring to leap into the professional world, DNP wants you to feel like a natural model right from the very first picture. Why is this? The answer is simple: to be as comfortable as possible and have as much fun as you can, not only as a model, but as an artist like me. That's right - YOU are equally the artist I am. I snap the photos and have plenty of ideas, but I also encourage suggestions and ideas from you that you want me to try or help you achieve. What you want to do and how you want to look is how photos turn out the clearest and brightest in the end. By being pro-active with your modeling aspirations, not only do the photos turn out better, but they create even more possibilities for expanding your portfolio in the future.
A Little About Me
I'm 23 years old, happily married to the love of my life, and a graduate of the University of Oregon. I play entirely too many video games - which often shows up in my photos - and I'm a trained classical musician, not to mention a former member of jazz and ska bands, so music is huge in my life. I'm also a big sports fan, particularly college football and basketball, so don't be surprised to hear me talking about it on occasion.I'm pretty chill and probably the most laid-back guy you'll ever meet. I'm as serious about creating art as anyone else, but part of creating art is having a hell of a lot of fun while doing it, so that tends to be what happens at pretty much any of my photo shoots.I've worked with over 200 people and have recommendations upon request. Though I have several people who model for me consistently, I'm always open to as many new clients as I can get. This makes me extremely busy, but I don't care. The way I see it, I've got the best job in the world.
I use a Nikon D50 Digital SLR camera equipped with a SB-400 Speedlight. Lenses include my 18-200mm VR II, a 50mm f/1.8D , and a kit 18-55mm. I use Alienbee strobes and Smith-Victor continuous lighting.
