His award-winning images earned him a coveted spot on the Nikon 100 List composed of the world’s top 100 rising photographic stars—and in fact, night photography is one of Dahnoun’s specialties (his image graces the cover of National Geographic’s Night Sky of North America).
A Manfrotto and Lowepro Global Ambassador, Dahnoun is both a photographer and a director. His work has appeared in hundreds of publications, such as National Geographic, Outside, Backpacker, and The New York Times.
