WHO IS DANI OLIVER? LEARN MORE ABOUT ME.
A brief tale of how I discovered my passion for Photography
My name is Dani and I’m a Digital Photographer based in Derby. I often find myself in London and Cambridge as well.
Originally from Madrid, Spain, I’ve been living permanently in the UK since 2013, although I first arrived in 1997. I’m now a proud dual citizen, and with my British boyfriend by my side, I truly feel the UK is my home.
Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Since childhood, I’ve been captivated by the beauty in the world around me and the magic found in everyday moments. I’m particularly drawn to candid photography, where life’s natural, unposed beauty shines through. To me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures; it’s about freezing memories in time—memories that can be cherished both now and in the future.
While I’ve been working as a semi-professional photographer since the early 2010s, the COVID lockdown inspired me to further hone my craft. In mid-2024, I proudly completed an HND in Photography with distinction—a milestone that, despite my extensive experience and satisfied clients, I felt I owed to myself.
I’m a proud gay man and a self-proclaimed nerd, but above all, I’m someone who loves making people smile—both in front of and behind the camera. As a dedicated member and ally to the LGBTIQ+ community, I’m committed to being an open-minded and friendly photographer who can help bring your vision to life.
My goal is to continually improve my photography through experience, dedication and resilience. I believe the best photographs capture the essence of humanity and resonate deeply with our hearts.
I’d love to hear about your project, whether it’s headshots, lifestyle photography, or events such as weddings, corporate functions, arts, or nightlife. I’m also passionate about travel photography, and I’m always up for a good chat over a cup of tea, coffee, or even a beer.
Let’s connect and create something memorable together.
