Hi, this is Daniel

Born in 1981 and raised in a small village in South Tyrol, high up in the breathtaking mountains of the Alta Badia Dolomites. Where centuries-old traditions, refined cuisine and excellent wines are part of daily life.

Daniel Töchterle Portrait - Food Fotograf

//Experience

It all started in 1996 with photography. Studying at the Academy for Photographers in Austria. Specialization in professional advertising photography with a focus on products. Countless hours spent in the darkroom developing large-format slides. Enthusiast of analog and Polaroid photography. Long-term photographic collaboration with an international advertising and marketing agency from Verona for the realization of advertising campaigns and branding images. Founded my own photography business in 2007 in Bolzano (South Tyrol). Since 2020, residing in München (Bavaria) to be close to what I love.

//Personal

I am inspired by a minimalist and essential staging. I am an enthusiastic lover of perfection.

Aware that there
does not exist any excellence.

//MentalWork

Analyzing the effect of light and the contrast of shadows, it becomes clear how important it is to frame each visual story in a playful way by adding bespoke lighting for each individual subject. The best photographic communication is achieved when the desired subject receives its own personal set and a specially crafted lighting composition. Every detail of light and every nuance of shadow contributes to telling a unique and engaging story.
