Toronto-based advertising and fashion photographer Dan Bannister's career began in editorial travel where he shot for clients such as Rough Guides, Penguin Publishing, Travel and The New York Times. Dan and his camera circumnavigated the globe and his work is fittingly shaped by an explorer’s spirit. His portraits especially reveal an appreciation for life’s stories and experiences, and Dan’s innate skill at appearing to effortlessly capture the perfect mood at the perfect moment is something his list of advertising and lifestyle clients covet.

But make no mistake, Dan believes that perfection requires thoughtful effort and so do his precisely crafted, yet candid images. But that suits Dan’s personality, and his ability to pull together large productions and create stunning brand images are the reasons his diverse roster of corporate, fashion and agency clients love working with him.
