“Working with Dan is an experience I wish for everyone to have. When I met him I was going through a deep transformation within and what he gave me was something I would have never expected from a photographer. For me, he provided a safe space, loving witnessing for the parts of myself that I was letting go of, and words of affirmation that I needed to hear. It wasn't a photo session. It was a homecoming & he helped me embody my muse and step into my gifts and power.”
“He helped me mobilize shame about my body and helped me see myself in a new way. I was astounded by the level of care he provided. All of me was welcome and I really got the sense that he was listening deeply to things I could not even hear in myself and giving them voice through his artistic direction. He also let me follow my own intuition around the shoot. He's one of the only people (so far) that has said yes to me making a mess in his studio with baking flour.”
“He understood that my impulse to be messy was coming from my soul & let that part of me express freely. The pictures we captured that day are some of my favorite images of myself. Dan holds a special place in my heart and I hope all women get a chance to be uplifted by his presence and art.”

“I recently had my first experience working as a model for Honja, and I was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience! I was first introduced to his work through a friend who has done some shoots with him. His creativity and concepts of stepping outside the box of your average modeling shots really caught my eye. He was extremely professional and kept the entire shooting process fun and relaxing for me. It was my first time working with “artistic nude” shots and he kept my nerves at ease, helped me pose and truly made me feel safe and comfortable. It was such an amazing first session with him, and I can’t wait to book future shoots with Honja! I highly recommend him for anyone with a creative / artistic eye to book with him, and be able to take your ideas to a whole new level!”

“Working with Honja was such a pleasure! He creates a safe and comfortable environment to work in. We bounced ideas off each other the whole time and I can’t wait until out next shoot! 100% recommend.”
