New York City

What if your most important moments looked as good as they felt?

I'm Daniel Krieger — a photographer based in the heart of NYC who believes the best images aren't posed, they're caught. From intimate portraits to sweeping event coverage, I bring warmth, patience, and a genuine eye for the moments that matter.

A photographer who actually enjoys being behind the camera — and in front of it too.

I started shooting with a secondhand point-and-shoot and a lot of curiosity. Over the years, that curiosity turned into a career, and my approach stayed the same: people first, pictures second. I know sitting in front of a lens can feel awkward. My job is to make it feel like hanging out with a friend who happens to have expensive gear.

Based in Greenwich Village, I've had the pleasure of photographing engagement sessions on the High Line, corporate headshots in Midtown, and everything in between. Every project gets my full attention — no templates, no rushed sessions, just real images that tell your story.

Services built around your story

Every session is tailored to you. Here's a look at what I specialize in — but I'm always open to new ideas.

Portrait Sessions

Individual, couple, or family — we'll find the light, the location, and the mood that feels like you. Studio or on-location, your call.

Event Coverage

From boardroom presentations to birthday parties, I capture the candid moments that make your event memorable — without being in anyone's way.

Headshots & Branding

Professional headshots that don't look like headshots. I help professionals and creatives build a visual identity that feels authentic and polished.

Location & Travel

Based in NYC but willing to travel. Whether it's a weekend shoot upstate or a destination session, I bring the same care and attention wherever I go.

What my clients say

The best part of this job isn't the photos — it's the people.

Daniel made us feel completely at ease. We'd never had our photo taken together and were nervous about looking stiff. By the end of the session, we were laughing and actually having fun. The photos are incredible.

I needed professional headshots for a major promotion and was dreading the whole process. Daniel was patient, gave great direction, and the results exceeded my expectations. I've never felt this confident in a professional photo.

We hired Daniel for our wedding and couldn't be happier. He was invisible when he needed to be and perfectly present when we wanted him there. Every photo captures the emotion of the day beautifully.
