boston rugby football club About Dan

My passion for photography has drawn me across the globe, from photographing rugby players in my own backyard of Boston, to shooting todays top models sporting gigantic avant-garde hair sculptures, or capturing portraits of the people of Cambodia. I never tire from the wonder of a new place, a new face and a new story.
The story behind the photo or video is really the most important thing to me, and conveying these stories is what I’m driven to do, day after day. I always strive for an authentic feeling, whether it be in the most simple of portraits to the most heavily composited image. Capturing moments and telling stories is what I love, and I am eager for you to let me tell yours.

Although, I have not ever played Rugby I have always admired the sport.
I started this personal Project working with the Boston Rugby Football Club last month,
shooting portraits of the players in a raw, honest post game state. Dirt still caked on their
faces, bloody and bruised. Still pumped and ready to fight, or laughing at the battle they
just endured, I had a chance to see the game for more than 30 guys on the field hitting as
hard as they can, I got to see the individual personalities of the team.
I want to thank Glynn MacKenzie, President of the BRFC for helping us put this
all together.
There are many more images to come, check back for a full preview of the project soon.
