About Daniel Sroka
I grew up with photography. My childhood desk was my father's old enlarger, and I spent many days working in our basement darkroom, listening to the creaking of the floorboards overhead. But when I grew up, making art had to take a back seat to paying the bills. Luckily, I discovered a talent for graphic design, which helped me pay my way through school and lead to a professional career. I eventually became the original creative director for Yahoo!, where I helped guide them from a quirky curiosity into a globally-recognized brand.

Something caught my eye on the path to Cape Point (Africa).
But I grew tired of using my artistic skills to help other people realize their dreams, while ignoring my own. So I quit my day job, and focused my energy on my fine art photography. I have now spent the past decade carefully developing my unique and intensely personal style of nature art. I have also been able to use my years of experience in design and web marketing to run a successful business creating custom fine art wedding prints inspired by my art.
