Dan kindly photographed my Dad's 60th birthday party. He did an incredible job capturing the event, which included ~100 family/friends and a live band. He handled multiple requests for group photos really well, as well as capturing lots of great candid photos. Dan was super easy to communicate with. Highly recommend! More...

I worked with Dan Wray on a series of outdoor photographs of carved sculptural heads, approximately three stores high, using a camera drone. From my initial enquiry Dan was enthusiastic and went to the trouble of producing test shots to show me what was possible using a camera drone. The shoot went well, and I’m delighted with the results. I have no hesitation in recommending Dan as a highly experienced professional photographer and drone pilot. More...

Very professional service with a smile! It's always nerve-wracking using a new photographer because event photos are so important to us. We didn't need to worry as we received the best photos we've ever had from our annual awards ceremony event which we have been running since 2015. Incredibly fast turnaround of images into a beautiful online photo album which was so easy to distribute to our guests. Would definitely recommend! More...

In the future we would defintly reuse Dan's service and defintley recommend it to anyone who is looking for a photographer to hire. More...

As a professional magician - I get to meet a lot of photographers. Dan is without date the epitome of high quality and class. He is super friendly and all the clients we work together with love him. He is more than just a photographer and then we move on to his photography. He is genuinely one of the only photographers I feel who understands how to capture reactions. Most photographers take pictures of me or my hands holding playing cards - who wants to see that? As you can see from the photos attached Dan is quality at standing in the right place at the right time - a genuine rarity for photographers!! Thanks Dan for capturing some great images and really hope we get to work together again and other clients read this to know that having worked with literally hundreds of other photographers you stand out above all of them. Thanks again! More...

Dan really understood our business values and interpreted the brief beautifully and because of that we have ended up with the most precious photos. The two day shoot generated over 550 shots with our nursing team and patients, which he took completely in his stride! All of our guests commented on how awesome Dan was and he didn't miss a single minute of the day with his camera. I cannot recommend Dan enough, he is a such a master of his craft and is genuinely down to earth. More...

Dan did an excellent job of capturing a conference we booked him for. Photos included the keynote speakers, audience participation, exhibition hall and private dinner. The final gallery is of very high quality, and really highlights the best the day had to offer so I'm very happy to have booked with Dan! Everything was uploaded to a private gallery for us, with an easy download as well which was really convenient. Great to communicate with, a delight on the day and importantly caused no distractions during any of the talks, so he really did a very good job all round. I would highly recommend Dan for your event photography, 5 stars, without a doubt. More...

Dan is a very professional photographer. Not just on the day of our wedding but weeks prior when organising and preparing for what photos we would like. On the day he was great, not only took incredible photos but was awesome to have around and talk to throughout the day. He was also very discreet when he needed to be which led to quality spontaneous photos. He delivered our photos in good time after the wedding and there were high quality images and he even did the extra mile to make and extra folder with some edits specific to our theme of the day. I would fully recommend Dan to anyone else as a wedding photographer as you would not be disappointed. More...

I worked with Dan on an interior design project I had recently completed and the whole process from start to finish was fantastic.

Dan is an excellent photographer to work with. I reached out to him to help me take my acting head shots, and I have come out with photos I am happy with - I cannot wait to use them as part of my CV and online portfolio. In no particular order, Dan's strong points: - Quick to reply - Very accommodating around your needs, such as scheduling and travelling to a convenient spot to shoot - Personable - easy to develop rapport with and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera - You get a whole host of pictures to choose from from the shoot - Dan makes sure you have plenty of choice so you can be happy with the results. - Last but not least, he is great at photography, making cracking interior and exterior images. Would highly recommend Dan Wray Photography if you are an actor looking for head shots / portfolio pictures, or someone else looking for professional pictures of any kind. More...

I could not recommend Dan enough. I came to him needing an update on my professional headshots and he did an amazing job - so much so, it’s the first time I’ve actually struggled to narrow down the pictures to only a few! The session itself was fun and relaxing and Dan did a fab job of making me feel at ease. The whole process was so smooth and easy and would go back to Dan for more photos in a heartbeat. More...

I can't rave about Dan Wrays photography enough.

I recently hired Dan for a fashion photoshoot I had planned and was absolutely blown away with the results.

Pictures were amazing, exactly what I wanted. Plus without hesitation sent over different sizes of photos and answered any questions I had.

Dan is nothing but an professional, easy going and gave his advice when needed and generally a all round nice bloke.

We all really enjoyed working with Dan and since had more work from him and I will continue to work with Dan.

Our event was a royal visit and opening of our St John Ambulance building by Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal. Dan provided us with a superb service. He was professional and very discreet on the day, the range and quality of photographs he took captured the emotions and personalities of all involved. Even with many people in masks his photography was empathetic to the situation and ensured every single person present has at least one photograph of themselves with HRH. None of the photographs were posed or groups, all were natural and expertly framed with the materials and backdrops that were being displayed to HRH. The photography serves as a fantastic and descriptive record of the day. “A picture says a thousand word”, and all of these pictures do. The speed of turning round the official media photographs on the same day was excellent. The completion of the full albums within three days with very simple on-line secure access was a delight to all involved. I have already recommended Dan to other colleagues and friends. More...

Commercial & Corporate Photographers

Dan came to me at very short notice because the day we had agreed was going to be bad weather, and part of the job was photographing the garden as we are a small Bed and Breakfast.
Dan arrived early and without much instruction from me, he got on with the job. When I received them I was over the moon because he had done SO many. Almost every inch of our house had been photographed and some really creative touches which we felt showed the character of our 1930s house. He was very professional and worked quietly and very efficiently. I would definitely recommend Dan to anyone who wants pictures of their property. A lovely guy who is passionate about what he does.

Dan is much more than a supremely talented photographer. Throughout the whole process, leading up to our session, he was helpful and had a creative a professional interest in my work. He travelled to my home to carry out the shoot. Whilst obviously taking charge he was keen to explain processes to me and to involve me. He wanted to ensure that I was happy. I was at complete ease with him.
I was working to a pretty tight schedule and Dan was very accommodating. I had received my finished photos within 24 hours of the shoot.
I think that Dan's rates are fair and very reasonable. I believe that anyone who employed his services would be thrilled with the results. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.

Dan recently photographed our wedding and was incredibly flexible through the process - involving several changes of plan due to lockdown restrictions etc. Dan kept in touch throughout, did his own research on the venue, was there before anyone else, and did exactly what you’d want a photographer to do - we weren’t made to feel like we were at a photo shoot, yet he captured all the best moments. The final results were fab, coming through electronically after only a couple of days and then via usb in the post shortly after. We are both really pleased with the results and would recommend Dan highly. Thank you Dan ! 👍🏼 More...

Q&As

There are many ways to take a photograph to get the look and style that you or your client is looking for, there is no secret just experience.

Many, between us we have to make sure that we can achieve exactly what is needed in the time given.

The people I meet, the places I get to see and the smile on people faces when they see the finished work.

Photography has been my passion since I was 16, there was never really any question about me having my own business do what I love.

Choose me because you like my work, you like how I work and you trust I can deliver.

Services

There are a variety of ways to get your headshot photography sorted.

​I have a headshot studio based on the outskirts of Newark on Trent, Nottingham where we can shoot indoors or outdoors in my spacious garden, or both! (weather dependant!)

​I can come to you where I can set up a studio where you work or live. In answer to your question, yes you have enough room!

I travel all across the Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire. London is also just a short short train ride away.

The best property photography is not only about photographic skill, you also need to be able to capture the feel of the property, a formal living room is very different from a quirky bespoke B&B, angles, staging and lighting are all vital elements. As a Nottingham property photographer my job is to show off your property to the highest standard.

As an event photographer I’ve photographed everything from birthday parties for families, to conferences, events and PR for clients like Capital One, The Harridge Group and more.

My documentary style means that your event photography will have a very relaxed style showing the best of the day or evening, and images that your guests will love.

As well as being involved in photography in one way or another since I can remember, I also have a very strong background in the corporate world.

​This background helps me get the best out of your commercial photography. Not only do I know what to look for, I also know how busy you are so I can make the process from start to finish as easy and pain free as possible for you.

​Let my photography show your brand’s personality and highlight what makes you so special. My commercial photography service will enable your business to back up its words and build familiarity, trust and credibility.
