On Sunday we shot the music video for the alternative, pop, indi, rock band, Monroe. Running around NYC with a small crew and shooting some amazing views was a lot of fun. Here are some random pics I squeezed in throughout the day:          

2011 was an amazing year. Not only did I get inducted to the Nikon Emerging Photographer Hall of Fame, but we also released four music videos. I’m very excited to compile them all into my 2012 Director’s reel. I’m hoping that we’ll be able to release even more videos in 2012. Special thanks goes out [...]

Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope you’re having a great December. Things are busy here at Dannyjive HQ. We’re wrapping presents and doing photo shoots in Chicago. I can’t wait to show a few.

YouTube Version Here it is! The new music video for Brooklyn based hip hop artist, MoneyRaye. We had to shoot this video in five hours including a dialogue scene. We just made the cut off point right before they were going to kick us out of the space, lol. It was an intense experience, but [...]

It’s been a busy past few weeks. Most recently, I taught a filmmaking workshop which was a lot of fun. I love being able to share some of my experience with new filmmakers. This workshop was a basic overview of getting your film from script to screen. I should have taken pictures! I’ve also had [...]

The new business cards are here! With the new director’s reel and photo portfolio I figured it was about time to update the business cards too. Same “classic” dannyjive logo on front, but this time I wanted parts of my photography portfolio printed on the back. I went through moo.com which specializes in this kind [...]
