I’m Daniel Malowany, a fine art and travel photographer based in Georgia. Through LightGrab, I share landscape, travel, and street photography focused on exceptional light, compelling composition, and a sense of place. My work ranges from the mountains of Hawaii to the streets of small towns and everyday scenes that reveal beauty in unexpected moments.
My digital cameras include the Ricoh GR, Sony A7riii, Sony RX1, and the 28, 40, and 75mm Merrill DP cameras. Film cameras are a Toyo 4 x 5 (which I rarely use) a Minolta 6 x 6 Autocord, and even a Rollei 35s.
UPDATE: Lately (as of 2026) I've pretty much been only using the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Amazing what that camera can do. But regardless of camera, it’s the eye behind the lens that matters most.
This shot was taken recently in a small, sleepy, but up and coming little town in North Georgia called Ballground. It is about an hour and one half drive from Atlanta. I used one of my favorite, but mostly forgotten and certainly underrated camera in recent memory, the Merrill DP1.
