Photo & tech
Lenses, cameras, tripods, bags and iPhone accessories. I shoot every day, so I show what your gear does in real situations and what comes out of it.
UGC · Sponsored posts · Photo & Video
Real use, turned into content for your brand.
I'm a photographer and tech nerd who makes UGC. A lens, an iPhone accessory, a camper or a place to stay: I use it for real and bring back photos and short videos that look like life, not like an ad. For your channels, or as a sponsored post on mine.

Sunlight × Brittany
Two weeks on the Atlantic coast of Brittany, living out of a Sunlight van. Surf mornings, coastal parking spots and evenings in the back of the van: content that shows what life with a Sunlight camper actually feels like.

Travel & stays
Campers, vans, road trips, huts, cabins and holiday rentals. I lived in a van for four years, so this is where I feel at home.
Outdoor & lifestyle
Surf, ski, bike, camping and the clothes and gadgets that go with it, shot in use and in real weather.

Good to know
What is UGC?
User-generated content: photos and short videos that look like they come from a real customer rather than an ad shoot. I create them in real use, with your product or at your place, for your feed, your ads and your website.
Which brands do you create content for?
Photo gear and tech (lenses, cameras, tripods, bags, iPhone accessories), travel and stays (campers, vans, destinations, cabins, holiday rentals) and outdoor and lifestyle brands (surf, ski, bike, camping).
Which usage rights are included?
Organic use on your own channels for 12 months, worldwide. Paid social is a time-limited extra quoted per campaign, a full buyout is possible on request.
How fast do I get the content?
Edited files about three weeks after the shoot, with two revision rounds per deliverable.
Do you also do sponsored posts on your own Instagram?
Yes. A post, carousel, reel or stories on @danieljschwarz can be the whole project or part of it, especially for photo gear and tech. They are always labelled as advertising.
Where are you based?
In Salzburg, Austria. I shoot across Europe — from the Alps to the Atlantic coast — and work in German and English.
