About me

Hello, I’m Daniel Mercer, a photographer based in Asheville, North Carolina.
My little story
I tell stories through light, quiet moments, and real emotion.
I started taking photos with a hand-me-down film camera and no idea what I was doing—just chasing light and instinct.
What began as a quiet curiosity turned into a lifelong love for documenting the real, the in-between, the honest. Over time, that love became my work.
Let’s create something meaningful together.
