About

Hi, I’m Dan Bowhay, a photographer, artist, and all-around creative person. Based in Hampshire, I’ve been studying photography since secondary school, and hold a BA (Hons) in Photography from Arts University Bournemouth.

My passion for photographing events comes from my background in the arts. I have created and brought to fruition many a creative project, so I understand how passion is the driving force behind bringing events and performances to life. It’s the ability to use photography to showcase this passion that I love the most. I thrive on being able to bring out the energy, excitement, and emotions through my photographs.

I generally like to work in the background. Performers can focus on what they do best, attendees can feel at ease, and I can focus on achieving the greatest possible photos. Candid photos are at the heart of what I do best, capturing those genuine movements, but I also love to capture wider photos that showcase the atmosphere, and whilst I do work in the background, I'll step in and direct when needed.

I’m based in the south of England and I’ve photographed events and performances in Hampshire, Dorset, and beyond, and covered genres including dance, pageantry, and arts and cultural events. I’ve also photographed actors, and worked, capturing stills, on many film sets (where I mastered the art of working in the shadows and tiptoeing around).

Regardless of the exact genre, showcasing the passion behind what you are creating is what I care about the most. Please get in touch. I would love to hear about what you are working on and discuss how I can best capture it.
