My name is Daniel Contreras and I have been photographing in Houston for about 5 years.  I started working for a camera store and was fortunate to work with an extremely talented photographer.  As my interest grew, I purchased a simple SLR and soon out-grew it.  After a few years of learning and practicing I took the plunge and bought a digital SLR and spared no expense.

Not knowing what I was getting into I began booking photo-shoots and it took off from there.  Last year I started my very own production company, New Dirt Studios. In addition to photography, I also offer video editing and closed captioning services.
