In February this year I exhibited a new body of fine art work in Melbourne at the gallery I am currently represented by, Catherine Asquith Gallery. I wanted to then bring the show back home to canberra, back to the gallery that gave me my start in the fine art photography world, Photoacces {Huw Davies…
My first solo photographic exhibition was in 2006 at the Huw Davis Gallery (PhotoAccess). This show marked the beginning of my career in fine art photography and because of this, I have a sentimental attachment to this amazing gallery and to the inspiring people who run it. No matter how much I become invested in the commercial side, my…

I’m in a taxi from Cork right now dude – seriously – best of luck with it….BT!
Ah… I am going to miss this one – I hope you’ll bring your exhibition to Sydney! x
Something hidden in this image. Pretty scary. Other images on your blog takes attention away from it, kind of distraction but when i look just in to this image alone gives me chills. Very powerful stuff. Reminds me slow-mo scene in the woods from Antichrist the movie. Amazing.
Last week saw the annual gathering for the AIPP Australian Professional Photography awards (APPA) in Melbourne (Australia). I was over the moon to receive 1 Gold award, 2 Silver Distinctions and 1 Silver award for my four prints entered. The standard of work on show was unbelievable, I can confidently say that I am super…

Well, not sure where to start with this. Since starting to shoot as a professional I have always set myself goals of achievement, both personal and professionally. After watching my first Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) Awards judging a few years ago I said to myself that it would be my dream to one…
Congratulations, Dan. So very well deserved :)
Oh Dan….oh my word – these pull me in, they are so beautiful….. x

Much deserved Dan! Congratulations!
Money, money and money. Well done, sir.
So proud of you Daniel!!
Holy Moley. Very well deserved. Beautiful images.
daniel, when i first saw you, i knew that you had a flame in your heart.. And under our blue skies, marble skies, i found a home in your eyes.. we’ll never be apart.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00ZHah-c0hQ..
dude.. i just got an email from your Mum.. the subject line is “my special little guy”..
ps.congrats big time on your accolades brother, you’re freakishly talented..
pps. please remember me when you’re famous ;)
ppps. absolutely!
so proud of you my lil daniel… it’s so amazing to see your journey. when i first met you all those years ago, i never would have thought you’d be the superstar you are today. after all, i was in my car, you were the derro offering to clean my windscreen… i didn’t realise there was such talent within this dirty homeless guy washing windows with his little squeegee. and now lookatcha! dan o’day is taking the world by storm. i’ll never forget what you told me that one day… “But I ain’t never crossed a man that didn’t deserve it…Me, be treated like a punk, you know that’s unheard of. You better watch how you talkin, and where you walkin, or you and your homies might be lined in chalk.” i didn’t want to be lined up in chalk. so i told myself to never forget that. :)
loves you daniel. SO proud of everything you’ve achieved. i hope i’m even 10% like you when i grow up. you’re amazing.
You’re awesome and you deserve every accolade. It was a thrill watching your images judged (and also watching you judge). Congrats.
A very huge congratulations to you – seriously awesome achievement, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of such success.
Congratulation Dan! Such an amazing achievement xo
So proud of you dude!
Legend. A win for the good guys :) Look forward to seeing what’s next.
you’re clever :)
think Christine & Todd should have a comment off. Winner gets a hug :)
well done sir. i saw two of your prints come up in judging down in sydney… and i knew both would do well. talk soon!
too good dan!
dude… amazing! well deserved & well done.
your talent and hard work is rightfully being recognised. massive congratulations mate
just beautiful Dan, i so proudly looked at these images at APPA knowing some of these were yours, and guessing the others were too…i loved pointing them out to some people at APPA and saying they were yours… i love them all very much. congratulations Dan :-) You are an inspiration to me and so many others.
you are so talented Mr O’Day… you have an amazing gift of seeing the world in such a unique way. you have opened my eyes up to so much and have taught me so much more. so proud of you and all your achievements, this is just the very start. xoxo

Congrats!!
ya. really well deserved. you’ve got a great eye for life and that shows in the way you take pictures. congrats.
Congratulations! You are inspiring! I love your work!
Posting these superb images is not in any way self-indulgent. It encourages the rest of us inspiring photographer. Thank you for sharing. And why the hell shouldn’t you celebrate your hard work and creativity. It’s all good.
Congratulations Dan! These are incredible & you totally deserve the accolades.
Congratulations Dan, I saw your name in the email the other day. Well done.
Wow, super impressive!! Congratulations!
Just found these by accident … or did I. It seems I needed to see them. Really beautiful. And congratulations.
Hair of the Dog (HOTD) is a three-day AIPP event held in Brisbane each year and it’s all happening again from 5-7 Feb. It is full of all things awesome, with a fantastic line up of speakers and workshops taking place. I am extremely humbled to have been asked to be one of the speakers…
dear daniel: i would so love it if you could please sit on the stage with a blindfold on, and a mic in one hand, whilst saying everything that comes into your brain. i need to know what goes on in there. only then will i truly feel like i “know” you better. love, your friend christine. (pobke) (remember? your friend you’ve been friends with for over a year now.)
I would like to learn more about your impending marriage to THM.
Sausages. Talk about sausages.
Hmmm sausages… and lamb handles!
I would like to learn about your advanced angry birds techniques. thanks in advance.
Talk about making pretty ‘pikchures’ and stuff and things. People like that.
I see you are getting some great responses to your request :) Gotta love it.
Very few photographers have an apostrophe in their name. Even fewer still have one so well positioned as yours. Please teach us 1) How to obtain an apostrophe and 2) How to position our apostrophe once we have obtained it. The people need to know.
Rub your belly and pat your head at the same time, or is it rub your head and pat your belly? Even better, rub Todd’s belly and pat your head.
Kindest regards
