Dean Perrin
ACTOR
What inspired you to book a portrait session with me?
I had been looking for someone that’s offering a different perspective on photography as a whole. I contacted Dan mainly because he had a vision that seemed different to the typical boring portrait session and if you want to stand out I do believe you need different.
How did you feel during the portrait session? Was there anything in particular that made you feel comfortable or confident?
The way Dan communicates and gives direction is next level. He’s very good at creating a safe space to feel comfortable in.
What did you think of the finished portraits? Did they meet your expectations?
I’m a photographer myself so to be honest I didn’t know what to expect. I trusted Dan fully after the first few minutes with his calm and relaxed nature. I actually cried when Dan sent me the images. They feel like a snapshot of me and all the little quirks I have, which is an incredibly talented thing for someone to be able to photograph.
How have you used the portraits since receiving them?
Since receiving the portraits I’ve had them updated on my website and online portfolio. These will be extremely valuable for sending to casting agents for future roles.
How would you describe the experience of working with me as your photographer?
This was no ordinary portrait session. I do believe Dan is offering something extremely valuable for growth as a human. The session felt more like a safe space I could express who I am rather than a typical portrait session. Dan gave me the space to be my genuine self. When you mix that with an artist as passionate as Dan, there’s nothing else you need. It’s something I think every person would benefit from in one way or another. I found a new appreciation for how great it feels to let go and just be me. You can’t put a price on that experience.
Would you recommend my portrait photography service to others? If so, why?
Not just anyone could bring what Dan does to these shoots, it’s just who he is as a photographer, artist and great human that make it work seamlessly. Anyone can take a portrait but this is art, it’s snapshots of your history as a human and something you’ll be proud to share with the world.
Is there anything else you’d like to add about your experience?
Thank you again Dan, you’re incredible.

Pet Portrait
What inspired you to book a portrait session with me?
I just rescued a shelter pup and wanted a portrait to celebrate her joining our family!
How did you feel about the portrait session?
At first I was a bit nervous because I wasn’t sure how Pickles would react to being in a studio environment. Daniel calmed those nerves instantly with his calm demeanour and selection of dog treats for Pickles to enjoy. She went from being shy and anxious to being the star of the show!
What did you think of the finished portraits? Did they meet your expectations?
The final portraits were so much better than I could have imagined. Pickles looks like she’s in a Purina ad!
How have you used the portraits since receiving them?
I’ve framed my favourite shots to hang up in my salon as well as posted them all over social media.
How would you describe the experience of working with me as your photographer?
Super fun and informative! Daniel would often explain what he was doing so that there was nothing that would catch us off guard.
Would you recommend my portrait photography service to others? If so, why?
10000%! I’ve been telling all the people at my local dog park about the service because I was so impressed.
Is there anything else you’d like to add about your experience?
Thank you so much Dan, I’ll be forcing my in-laws to do a shoot with their pups very soon.
