The Compelling Image

Daniel Bailey

Dan Bailey is a professional photographer who specializes in creating images that convey the essence of adventure. His images communicate the fear, exhilaration, struggles and personalities of his subjects as they interact with the natural world and test the limits of their skills and endurance or as they simply live their lives off of the beaten path.

His work has been published by clients worldwide, including Nikon, Fidelity Investments, British Petroleum, National Geographic Adventure Magazine, Outside Magazine, The New York Times, and Patagonia. Daniel's own passion for adventure usually places himself right alongside his subjects, which allows him to share in their experiences firsthand as he shoots. In that way his photography has become his vehicle for a life of exploration and documenting expeditions, cultures and landscapes around the world.

His experience as a former photo editor, combined with over a decade of teaching photography workshops, has given Dan a solid understanding of how to recognize and critique eye catching imagery, and how to effectively communicate the methods for making stronger photographs to his students
