I’m Dan Htoo-Levine (HL). 

I photograph two kinds of moments:

The kind you share — warm, sometimes messy, full of life.

And the kind you keep — quiet, fleeting, meant to be felt more than seen.

I picked up a camera in March 2020, when the world slowed down. I was looking for something steady, something worth noticing. At first, it was just for me — a way to pause and pay closer attention. Over time, it became something more: a way of seeing, and a way of sharing.

Now I make photographs for families, small businesses, and myself — but always with the same mindset: honest over perfect, present over posed.

Whether I’m chasing kids through a field or waiting for the fog to settle on a still lake, I try to be ready when something real happens. That’s where the good stuff lives.

Let’s capture it — together.
