Rose-hued cocktail crowned with an orchid — photographed by Daniel Kamen

About

Daniel Kamen.

A Tampa-based photographer focused on high-end restaurants, bars, and hotels — shooting the moments and spaces that define how a brand feels.

Started taking photos in 2018. By 2022 I was shooting USF Rugby on contract, then moved into Tampa's nightlife — bars, clubs, the rooms where the energy is hardest to capture and the only way to do it right is to stay out of the way.

Late 2022 I joined Modern Media Group, shooting for restaurants, hotels, gyms, home builders, and ecom brands — local and national. The work that taught me what hospitality clients actually need: atmosphere that reads instantly, people who look real, food and drink that look like the place they came from.

Style

Moody. Candid. Documentary.

Selected praise

Honestly I could never imagine having anyone but Kamen to shoot my events. Truly a professional and an artist.

I gave him a couple of words and he took the thought in my brain and brought it to life in a way I couldn't have imagined. A professional through and through — professionalism, efficiency, and creative vision in one person.
