Aberdeen, Scotland –Nigerian-born visual artist and photographer Daniel Oriyomi Olotu, professionally known as danofeurope, is carving a unique space in the world of visual storytelling with his minimalist yet deeply emotive style. His work, which blends fine art, editorial portraiture, and documentary photography, reflects a sensitivity to silence, atmosphere, and the quiet poetry of everyday life.
Daniel’s artistic journey began in 2017 when his curiosity for human stories led him to pick up a camera. What started as an experiment has evolved into a career defined by elegance, intentional composition, and an ability to capture moments often overlooked but rich with meaning.
With a professional foundation built at George Okoro Studios in 2021, Daniel mastered editorial and event photography while cultivating a disciplined, client-centered approach. Today, his portfolio spans fashion and beauty portraiture, weddings, events, architecture, and interiors, consistently earning praise from clients across the globe. His artistry has attracted couples from Canada and the United States, who traveled to Scotland to commission him for their wedding photography.
Relocating to Aberdeen in 2023 further shaped his creative language. Inspired by Scotland’s soft northern light and wide open spaces, Daniel developed a stronger emphasis on narrative and atmosphere in his visual work. Expanding into videography, he launched his introspective series One Word Daily, merging mindfulness and media by reflecting on single inspiring words through visuals and voice.
