Testimonials
"Working with Dan is like working with a good friend. He immediately makes you feel comfortable, and his sense of humor is always put to good use. His photographs are beautiful, and he is efficient with his photography. When Dan has photographed events for me, he is fantastic at maneuvering through the crowd without disrupting anyone. I can’t wait to work with him again!"

"Dan was a great asset to the growth of my company, Socially Dedicated. He was able to create a logo and visual branding for my business. He was knowledgeable in the processes needed to create a complete branding effort (business cards, website coloring, etc.). I enjoyed working with him so much that we continued a working relationship where his photography business, Dan Barends Photography, would handle any of my client's photography and graphic deisgn needs. I highly recommend Dan for both graphic design work and photography."
-Sarah DeGeorge, Digital Marketing Specialist
"I worked with Daniel on a collaborative shoot for a clothing brand called Kore Collective. I was extremely impressed and pleased with Daniel's professionalism and creative eye. He did an amazing job of following the direction I gave him and made 100% certain he was doing exactly what I asked of him, so that we could both get the result we wanted out of the shoot. He edited the pictures and sent them to me within a day or two. Overall my experience working with Daniel was punctual, professional and pleasant to say the least. Daniel has a brilliant eye and creative photography style. I would definitely work with Daniel again and 100% recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a professional photographer. "
