About Daniel Sroka
"Nature is so big, it can be hard to grasp. But when I hold a single leaf in my hand, that is something I can relate to. It's more tangible, more real. This is what I try to do with my art: show the natural world on a personal, more human scale.
"
Daniel Sroka has been a professional artist for over a decade, developing a new approach to nature art through his own unique style of abstract macro photography. The strength and beauty of his artistic style have been greatly influenced by 20 years of experience as a graphic designer.
After helping create the identity that made Yahoo! a globally-recognized brand, Daniel decided to do something crazy -- he took his knowledge of branding and internet marketing and used it to launch his art career. His photography is not just fine art, it becomes a nature-themed extension of the brand and identity of the hotels and resorts who own it. In addition to his fine art photography, Daniel also owns and runs a successful online business creating custom fine art wedding prints inspired by his art.
