Capturing the raw, cinematic soul of New York City and the worlds beyond
Learn more about the creative process, the artistic vision, and the passion that drives Daykin's photography in the heart of NYC.
I specialize in cinematic portrait and street photography. My work is defined by the "raw soul" of New York City — expect moody lighting, high-impact shadows, and an editorial aesthetic that feels like a still from a film. Whether it’s a private portrait or a street scene, I focus on bold character and urban rhythm.
You can book directly through the "Book a Shoot" page. Once you select a date, we’ll have a brief consultation to discuss the vibe, location (NYC-based), and styling. A 50% deposit is required to secure your spot.
Primarily, I use Canon Pro Platinum 300 g/m2 photo paper. It perfectly balances the deep blacks of street photography with a slight sheen that brings out cinematic colors.
I am always looking for new faces for personal creative projects and street tests. If you’re interested in collaborating on a specific vision, please submit your request through "Become a Model" page.
While I am based in New York City, I am available for travel worldwide for editorial work and private commissions. Travel fees apply for locations outside the five boroughs.
