Daniel Vegel
International Freelance Photographer and Videographer
Welcome to my photography and videography website, where creativity meets exceptional quality. With 20 years of professional experience, I bring a fresh, unique perspective to every project. Specializing in high-profile event photography, videography, and corporate portraiture, I don't limit myself to one genre. By blending styles, I create compelling visuals that tell a story. Based in Vienna and Budapest, I cover events worldwide.
I collaborate with a network of top industry freelancers across Europe, including photographers, videographers, editors, retouchers, motion graphic designers, and animators. Together, we deliver stunning visuals that consistently exceed expectations. Our clients include some of the world's leading corporations and event agencies, and we're proud of the long-term relationships we've built. We're always excited to welcome new collaborations.

GOOGLE REVIEWS
JP Bommel: “Daniel is my favorite and first choice as an event photographer and videographer. Not only is he very intuitive in capturing the moment making his pictures said a thousand words but he is never intrusive to the flow of the event or conference. He is so good that I have flown him around the world to capture our events around the world including our flagship show in Miami. He is also a great corporate portrait photographer conveying confidence and warmth in his shots.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alessia T.: “Daniel was our official photographer for a 5-days international conference with +650 participants. I highly recommend him because of the quality of his work, immediate delivery on-site and after the event, as well as his great attention to detail. He understood our needs and was able to capture both the most relevant and smaller moments, perfectly representing the feeling of the event. All the attendees enjoyed his shots very much.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Over the course of two days, Daniel worked seamlessly across the event, capturing every moment with professionalism and precision.

Brad Phaneuf: “Words cannot express how satisfied we are with Daniel's work. He is extremely professional and hard working, as is his team... and the results show. He was able to shoot 3 days of a Customer Meeting and have the incredible video done and edited for us to show before the close of the event. Unbelievable quality - it's still talked about today, 6 months later! Thanks again Daniel - can we fly you to Warsaw for our next event?” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Claire Guy: “What can I say ... working with Daniel is just brilliant!! His ability to capture the essence and mood of an event is fantastic. There is so much movement and life in his photographs. And during the event, you would never even know he was there?! - how does he manage that?! Daniel worked with me onsite to build a plan of how he could bring my vision and ideas to fruition, but also suggested so many innovative and artistic ideas which really brought a whole new dimension to the project. I really look forward to working with Daniel again in the future!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nhu Nguyen: “I highly recommend Daniel because of his outstanding professional skills and commitment in delivering projects with quality and punctuality.
