I adore my beautiful wife, my family, friends and my art. I've only started my life and I want to experience to it all.
Music
I have quite the variety of musical tastes, ranging from Norwegian Black Metal to musical soundtracks, skate punk to underground hip-hop, grindcore to classical and opera.
Famous bands I've photographed:
Symphony X, Goatwhore, God Forbid, Arsis, Mnemic, Killswitch Engage, Chimaira, Papa Roach, It Dies Today, Dragonforce, Between the Buried and Me, Trivium, In Flames, Devildriver, Opeth, Agalloch, Bleeding Through, Darkest Hour, Fight Paris, Misery Signals, ZAO, Dark Tranquillity, Evergrey, Nevermore, Norma Jean, As I Lay Dying, A Life Once Lost, Wolves In The Throne Room,
I've done publicity for Bam Margera, Glenn Danzig, Tech N9ne, Blackalicious, Hatebreed, Arch Enemy, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, Dir en Grey, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Mr. Lif, Everclear, Machine Head and more.
And your band, if you contact me...I also have an extensive local band reference list.
Movies
Samurai flicks, blood 'n guts, psychological horror, fantasy and silly-ass comedies. I'm too lazy to make a complete list. Ask me.
Television
Old TV shows that aren't on anymore. Beavis and Butthead, Daria, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Mystery Science Theater 3000, etc.
I do dig Metalocalypse, Robot Chicken, South Park, Boondocks and Aqua Teen Hunger Force too.
Books
Fantasy and sci-fi, though I'm extremely picky. I'm really not a big reader anymore.
Heroes
"Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know."
"I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
"Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."
"Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves."
"Le Voyage dans la lune"
"This body, this body holding me, be my reminder here that I am not alone in this body, this body holding me, feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion..."
"Don't you remember being a little kid, when your teeth would fall out and grow back and you'd put the old one under your pillow so the ancient Norse God Orthar the Tooth Collector would give you a PICKLES' NICKEL?!"
"Can't waste the day when the night brings the hearse, so make a move and plead the fifth because you can't plead the first."
"I've tasted seven sins, so they won't let me in, I knock-knock-knock until my knuckles are bruised and raw, stuck in the middle with my blood in a puddle on the floor. We made our beds, we'll judge ourselves, and only then and there will we disappear to our final resting place...what a waste! So many decent people at the gates..."
"Shot full of diamonds and a million years, the disappointed disappear like they were never here. In a dream, we are connected, Siamese twins, at the wrist..."
"Rising from the streets, screams of pain - the sewers heat! Something's here to kill you, it's under your nose, the sounds of destruction, and here show it goes...underneath the sewer lies an ever-flowing stream, of toxic revolution to destroy everything!"
"You are just a puppet...you have no heart...and cannot feel any pain."
"Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams."
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

About me: ALL PHOTOS COPYRIGHT 2006-2009 TO ME, DANIEL HOYT. LOGOS BY AMBER FULLER.
Yo guys and girls!
I'm Daniel, a 24-year-old Portland photographer. I'm pretty much a mad scientist and love shooting the beautiful and the bizarre. High fashion, beauty, glamour, horror, art nude, erotic, or hell, mix them all together - I love it all. And color. I like colors.
I've got the best job ever and I love doing it, but I'm also a pretty chill dude and when I'm not shooting awesome people I'm hanging out with my lovely wife, listening to loud music or geeking on too many video games.
But enough already, my rates are pretty damn cheap so write me, let's set up a gig and we'll have a most excellent adventure.
I use a Nikon D80 Digital SLR, lenses include a 18-200mm VR II and a 50mm f/1.8D. I use Alienbee strobes.
I'm on Model Mayhem! Add me!
Want to link to me? Use my banner...
I have larger banners for those interested as well...
Who I'd like to meet: Want to book a gig? Drop me a line, tell me a little bit about yourself, your interests and your vision. Where you want to take your modeling career and what you'd like to do with me to help reach that goal. We'll launch it from there.
