About Me

Ever since childhood I have wanted to tell stories through images whether fact or fiction to examine ideas and provoke reflection. I’m just finishing a feature length documentary about a murder plot, Cold War conspiracies, and end of Empire, told through the life of Dr. Walter Rodney.

Working with Daniyal has been an inspiring journey marked by creativity, collaboration, and camaraderie. His passion for storytelling is infectious, driving us to push boundaries and achieve our goals. Daniyal's dedication to excellence and collaborative spirit make every project a rewarding experience. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with such a talented director and producer, and I eagerly look forward to future collaborations.

Daniyal is a talented multi-skilled self-shooting director and producer but above all his work ethic, attitude, and enthusiasm for his work is inspiring and infectious to those around him.

On my previous feature documentary Daniyal was a valuable member of the team as an Assistant Producer. His ability to edit and self shoot to a broadcast standard as well as archive produce contributed to the overall success of the production.

As a development producer Daniyal had many imaginative and viable ideas and always presented them in an articulate and considered manner.

Given the opportunity I would have Daniyal on any of my future productions.

Andrew Lynch

I had the pleasure of working with Daniyal where he was an Assistant Producer on ‘South Of The River’ A three episode documentary series for BT sport, ITV, and Netflix.

Dan was an instrumental member of the crew. He is a conscientious, intelligent and energetic individual. Multi talented, he self shot some critical actuality scenes for ‘ South Of The River’ capturing the essence of very significant characters.

Dan is also a very competent editor on premiere pro.

A very hard worker, with an infectious positive attitude, he is a pleasure to work with. But most importantly he is always willing to learn whilst simultaneously offers valuable opinions and solutions to complex problems. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Jay Gill

Daniyal is a highly creative individual with a fantastic work ethic and the skills to match. Having worked for me for one year at MTV, Daniyal became my go-to camera op and editor and on top of that, he was also proficient in many archiving systems and kept all gear in an organised working order. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again in any future work.

Richard Bearpark

Daniel was an exemplary employee and an integral part of the team.

Positive, enthusiastic, smart, and quick to learn, he has a strong creative eye and is as friendly as he is multi-skilled.

Would recommend unreservedly.

Matt Risley

Daniyal Harris-Vajda is a hard working, talented cameraman, happy to work long hours on a highly pressurised time sensitive shoot. He was good at adapting to whatever happened on the day and had a great collaboration with the director, as well as getting along well with all of the team. He worked for Closer Pictures from June to July 2016. He was the cinematographer on 'Lost in London' a Nigerian comedy about culture shock and settling into a new country, The UK. The film will be released in the summer of 2017 in Nigeria.
