Daniyal did a fantastic job of photographing two of our properties. They came out even better than we expected! He was also very flexible with dates and accommodated us when we had to reschedule.
On top of this, he was very collaborative and easy to work with during the photoshoot, explaining everything from process to outcome and being attentive to our requirements throughout.
I highly recommend Daniyal for any property photography needs and would encourage taking a look at his portfolio. 5 stars.

If you want to create a memorable experience of your life this is the team you need to partner with.
We contracted Exquisite Capturist for our wedding anniversary shoot (Indoor/Outdoor) and I must say they ticked all the boxes in creating our dream moment.
Special thanks to Dan for accommodating all of our request with respect to editing and other aspects.
In terms of pricing, I must add they offer a very competitive pricing in the market.

Dan is the best photographer I've ever used and I mean intake professional photos every year.
He was professional and ensured customer satisfaction was his priority.
He visited the venue ahead of the event and ensured he was on time.
Dan went above and beyond for us on our daughter's big day ensuring we have a variety of photos.
We have amazing high Resolution photos we would for ever cherish.
I never met Dan nor knew him, I only found him on Bark a week before my event, but he will now be my family's photography for ever.
We highly recommend him, you won't regret it.
Thanks a lot Dan

Daniyal is amazing!
He knows how to interact beautifully and because of that we have ended up with the most precious memorable photo's.
We had loads of candid shots and over 100 people at the function, which Dan completely captured in the most beautiful style.
All of our guests commented on how awesome he was and were pleased by his friendly and kind approach.
Having spent 6 hours with us, not missing a single moment of the day, I cannot recommend Dan enough, he knows what he is doing.

Dan was fantastic at building a delegated background and guiding us through the entire process till the end.
The end results he provided us with were absolutely georgoes.
High quality Portraits that were pleasant to the eye.
Daniyal is a master in his field, and we would hire him again to use his photography services.
He also has the ability to provide Drone Videography for any occasion.

His attention to detail and commitment to getting the job done right impressed me. The end result was beyond my expectations - I am thrilled with the final product.

Maddy Thompson
Daniyal was great to work with.
Both myself and my husband hired Daniyal and his services to have our personal family portraits taken.
Daniyal is very personable and professional. He guided us during the photo shoot to make sure the outcome is aligned with our vision of how the photos should be.
He’s also very knowledgeable in providing feedback during the session around how different facial expressions influence other’s perception of the portraits.
I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Daniyal.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
There are many elements in photography that come together to make an image be considered 'great'.
Some of these elements include, but are not limited to lighting, the rule of thirds, lines, shapes, texture, patterns, and color.
All of these things play an important role when it comes to photography.
Lighting is one of the most important elements of a photograph. If you take a photograph with terrible lighting, the image you are trying to produce will automatically be terrible as well. There are many different ways to light a photograph. One could use natural lighting (sunlight) or artificial lighting (softbox, ring light, umbrella, flash, model light, etc..). When taking a photograph, one must also change the settings on the camera so that the light will go through the lens and make the image lighter or darker as necessary.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Digital or physical proofs
How many people to photograph
Area of the shoot
Lighting conditions
Date and time
What do you love most about your job?
Photography makes me think of more creative concepts and rich of ideas. It's an image that has a visual appeal and can be understood even without words. How to make a photos that can attract readers, touch their hearts and minds.
The fact that a camera can freeze a moment in time and make it last forever is what makes photography special to me. Not only is it a way to travel back in time, it gives the viewer a chance to share some of the action and feelings of the moment a photographer witnessed and captured. That’s why I like street photography and candid portraits above all other photography categories; they’re not images, they’re snippets of someone else’s life that you get to experience yourself.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I loved taking photographs since a young age, then I started capturing people's special moments and so with time it shaped a business but I don't just to it because of the business side in fact photography is my Passion.
