    Hey team! As the majority of us have been self-isolating / in quarantine for a while now I thought it would be cool to take you though a day in the life and show you my routine and how I stay motivated during this crazy time.
    I showcase how I take photos from home and by myself, my home workout routine plus my new little hobby!
    I hope you enjoy it,
    Stay safe team!

    Thanks for the content as always Daniel. Itd be cool to see:
    -an apartment tour
    some vlogs if you do go outside to a park or for an essential trip like groceries or food.
    -morr introspective stuff or just talking about yourself more in general. My favorite videos of yours are the ones that are more personal. I even prefer them to the fashion videos, although I love those as well.
    -more fitness stuff / what you're eating

  • @RachelHatley

    Loved this Daniel! For the shoot with the blankets, I noticed you kept having to get up every time to take a photo with the timer - there should be a setting on your camera called 'custom timer' where you can set the duration of seconds before the shutter goes off and also (and this is the part that will save you) set it to take up to 25 photos in a row. This way you can stay on your makeshift set and get ready while the timer counts down and when it goes off it will take a sequence of photos in a row, up to 25, and you can just pose differently for each one with out having to keep getting up! It's what I've been doing recently to shoot my at home content, mine is set to a 5 sec timer with a 15 shot burst after so I get 15 photos taken in a row. It normally takes a photo a second so you have time to change position slightly. Hope this helps!

    Love the kitchen! Goals! Oh and for a coffee machine the Breville (I think it's called Sage there) or De'Longhi are pretty decent machines. If you would like to do manual brewing try using a V60 or a Chemex, much cheaper. But you would need a proper grinder for both methods of brewing though. De'Longhi has a cheap grinder from what I recall. Anyways, stay safe!

    i like this gonzo approach on your video.
    some ideas for the next ones:
    1. even if we have already an idea about your new apartment, maybe there is something more to it for a whole video?!
    2. getting a buzz-cut, yes, a buzz-cut
    3. reviewing your fans' looks
    for coffee machine, if you don't want to go overboard - get a moka pot (from Bialetti), they are very, very cheap.

    What’s up Dan! A chemex or a simple our over is dope. Honestly, the chemex is around 40 bucks (usd) but one of the other brands that’s simpler is just as great. Other than that a super simple 20 dollar coffee machine works phenomenally if you just want to press the button and come back to some coffee if you want to switch to grounds. Sending love!
