My name’s Dan Burman and I am a portrait and event photographer. I’ve shot professionally for the last thirteen years, but I've been passionate about photography since I was a kid. As I child I wanted to be a nature photographer and after inheriting £300 when I was 10 years old, I went straight to the local camera shop and bought the biggest, most professional camera I could afford. I spent quite a while teaching myself how to use the camera and I ended up taking lots of blurry photos of ducks in the park. When I hit my teenage years I was told wildlife photography wasn’t “cool”, so my precious SLR camera went under the bed to be replaced by a Sony Playstation. Once I had finished with my “cool” phase a few years later, my camera resurfaced as I began my art foundation course. I was working in the darkroom a lot, developing my own prints, often in very experimental ways and merging it with print, paint and drawing.
