Born in Kangar, Perlis, Daniel Ooi has been dabbling in photography for more than 18 years. His love for photography led him to work part time at a colour lab back home when he was only 15. It is then that he gained more knowledge in printing, developing films and proper shooting methods.

​

After graduating from high school, he jumped into a full-time job at a bridal house in Penang as an assistant photographer. Two year later, he was employed at a bridal house in Johor and by 2010, he opened his own studio, Daniel Ooi Fine Art Gallery.

​

Daniel honed his skills in both digital and film photography, winning him many international accolades, making him a sought after talent. He now conducts photography classes and trainings in various organisations. He’s also an appointed State Liaison of the NIKON Club Malaysia as well as a WPPM Johore Ambassador. He has also been honoured with the prestigious Licentiate from the Masters Photographers Association, UK.
