​I'm Daniel Rosales. I'm originally from sunny Naples, FL but found myself in Northern Michigan at age 14 to study acting at Interlochen Arts Academy. That's when I found myself behind the camera for the first time, offering headshot services to my fellow peers (I wasn't very good at it)! I'd take them out in front of our gymnasium with natural light and my cheap but mighty Canon at the time. I went to University of North Carolina School of the Arts to study Acting, and established "Daniel's Digitals" in 2023. I've since worked with over 100 clients and can't wait to connect with more. Today, I reside in New York City.

 

Why shoot with me?

I’ve been an actor my entire life. I’ve been through the whole nine yards — getting signed with my agency, applying to and training at schools, auditions, callbacks, and professional bookings. Along the way, I’ve spent thousands of dollars getting my photo taken in both NYC and LA.

 

Because of that, I’m a student first. I’ve learned what actually makes a session work: feeling comfortable, at ease, and supported enough to show up as your most authentic self. At the end of the day, your photo is your calling card, and I take that seriously. My goal is always to capture the version of you that feels real, grounded, and confident.

 

I shoot headshots, film portraits, and creative digitals. I genuinely love connecting with artists and helping people feel good in front of the camera. You can view my work here on the site, and for more frequent updates, follow me on Instagram @thedanielrosales and @danielsdigitalsphoto.

Let’s work together.
