Who The Hell is

Daniel Troutman

My name is Daniel and I am a bad ass, father of three, who took his family from food stamps to six figures a year and I did it all with a camera.

After 15 years in the industry, I’m closing the loop. Whether you’re starting with a $600 investment like I did, or you're looking photo pro looking to make more money, I’m here to share the roadmap. No gatekeeping, no fluff—just the honest truth on how to build a rewarding life creating portraits that your clients will cherish for a lifetime and beyond..
