BEHIND THE LENS
Hi, I’m DJ Nathan, the photographer behind ShotByDN — capturing life one frame at a time from my home base in Long Island, New York.
For the past decade, photography has been my way of slowing down a fast-moving world. What started as a fascination with freezing a single moment has grown into a passion for storytelling — revealing emotion, energy, and atmosphere through the lens of my own perspective.
My Style:
My work leans into the cinematic — rich tones, intentional lighting, and scenes that feel pulled from a film still. I’m also drawn to a moody aesthetic, using contrast and depth to bring out the story behind every subject, whether it’s a person, a machine, or a sprawling landscape.
What I Shoot:
Automotive photography with a cinematic edge
Portraits that feel real and expressive
Brand photography built to elevate your visual identity
Travel Photography that capture places and the way they feel
Why I Do What I Do:
Photography allows me to take the chaos of daily life and distill it into a single, meaningful moment — a moment that says something, evokes something, and lasts. Every shoot is an opportunity to create something intentional and story-driven.
Let’s Create Something!
No matter the project, my goal is simple: create visuals that have depth, intention, and a story behind them.
I look forward to working with you!
