About
A Portrait of Dad - Rockford Jester, 4 years old - 2020
Daniel T Jester is a seasoned creative leader and studio operations expert with nearly two decades of experience in commercial photography. His career has spanned the evolving landscape of e-commerce and advertising, where he has built and led high-performing teams, streamlined studio workflows, and brought creative visions to life at scale.
With roots in photography as both a trade and a personal passion, Daniel has always approached the medium as a powerful storytelling tool. His commercial work is defined by precision, clarity, and a strong sense of visual impact. At the same time, his fine art practice explores symbolism, narrative, and the emotional resonance of still life. His most recent series, Signs of the Zodiac, reflects this intersection of concept and craft.
Daniel is also the host of The E-commerce Content Creation Podcast, a podcast that explores the people, processes, and personal stories behind creative work. Through thoughtful conversations with photographers, producers, and studio professionals, he shines a light on the real-life challenges and triumphs of life in the image-making industry.
Whether building systems that support creative teams, crafting images that invite reflection, or creating space for dialogue, Daniel brings deep experience, curiosity, and care to every aspect of his work.
