About Me


photography by: daniel jenkins
Fashion photographer Daniel Jenkins possesses a unique style that is HOT, EDGY, & everything ROCK N ROLL. Daniel mainly shoots images for fashion advertising and editorial but also shoots celebrity portraiture and images for promotional kits.
Daniel began his photography career shooting fashion shows, model portfolios, headshots, editorial shoots and fashion print advertising. Daniel's passion has been fashion related images. He truly has a way of capturing the sex appeal of denim.
In the beginning of his career, Daniel spent most of his time shooting in Phoenix, Arizona where he developed his unique style and a solid portfolio of images. It was here, Daniel realized his interest in working with independent fashion designers. Daniel met up with Angela Johnson, cofounder of the Arizona Fashion Foundation where he was introduced to many local designers such as Tiffe Fermaint, Lisa Jacobs of StickerClubGirl, and JenniVi. Including various models, hair stylists and make up artists.
Later Daniel started shooting live concerts. Live music is a different animal, hand holding cameras in low light situations, watching what's going to happen on the next beat and not always being able to see through the viewfinder. Daniel has been able to apply these lessons in the world of fashion photography as well. This is really valuable in shooting on "rock show" sets and runway shows.
Daniel takes a personal approach to his business. He believes in building valuable relationships with his clients. He understands the importance of delivering more than just a pretty picture. Daniel understands the job is to communicate a specific message to a predetermined audience in a way that will stand out and get noticeable results. That is what visual communication is all about.
With established arrangements with commercial photography studios in various cities across the globe, Daniel is always willing to travel, and books assignments worldwide.
That sums it up professionally. Personally. I'm into art, culture, theater, music, hanging out, roadtrips, jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, etc.... I want to learn to surf. I love the beach. I live life to the fullest, put my heart into everything I do, and lay it all out on the table. I try to make a positive impact in the world by truly caring, and listening to people and hopefully inspire them to ROCK their dreams
I enjoy live music, the company of great friends, life, love, tequila.
recently met some very inspiring people. I am truly blessed to call them friends... I follow my heart, I always have.... haven't always made the best decisions, but I have no regrets. I hope not to make the same mistake twice, but occasionally it happens... at the end of the day, i try to be a good person
I have a tendency to play songs over and over and over if they happen to fit a mood i'm in or remind me of someone or sometime... any of the old refreshments songs immediately lifts my mood. songs from shurman reminds me of good times. when i reflect on past relationships, i only remember the positive things. i fall in love hard but won't stay if it's no longer fun. at the same time, i don't give up easily. i know this sounds like a contradiction... i am me, and no one else. i don't try to be anyone else. i feel like a rockstar sometimes. have such a love for life. i quote roger clyne lyrics way too much! (don't i kary?) music is such a HUGE part of who i am. i like many different types of music.
i'm thankful for my good memories. i work hard for where i'm at, what i've become, and who i'm trying to be. i believe in love. i've learned a valuable lesson. the secret to success is to give so there is room to receive. this is the universal law of opposites. think about it.
Always looking for the next roadtrip or tour!
