About me
Hello! Welcome to my website. My name is Daniel Thorson. I am a professional photographer, videographer and video editor located in the LC Valley. I have a long background in visual effects and video productions. I worked on an Emmy nominated tv series for a Discovery Channel program called “Missions That Changed The War”. I have spent decades creating digital worlds and characters in CG, and it is because of that experience that I feel as though my work in the 3D animation industry has given me an intimate knowledge of lighting, shading and composition that deeply impacts my style as a photographer/videographer.
I was born and raised here in Lewiston Idaho. Among other things, I am a musician and have spent much time sculpting and sketching. Even though I have spent a lot of time behind a computer, I love the outdoors and feel completely at home up in the mountains.
I reside in Idaho with my beautiful wife and our two cats. Oh yeah, I am addicted to coffee!!
I love cinematography and the stories that can be told with camera angles, lighting and shadows. I believe that you should always strive to better your skills every day which is why I can often be seen out performing street photography to push my self outside of my comfort zone.
Among my skill sets are still photography, video production, lighting and visual effects. I have decades of Photoshop experience under my belt among a host of other software.
I am available for senior and family portraits. Product photography. Sport photography. Event photography/videography. Real estate photography/videography.
