About

Biography

Daniel Huete is a Bangkok-based photographer whose work explores the cycle of life and death. His practice reflects on how memory and belief shape our understanding of ourselves and the world. He seeks an emotional truth in his work, focusing on what feels real even when it may be perceived differently by others. His images examine how perception is shaped by what we experience, witness, and are taught to believe.

After more than a decade living in Asia, his perspective is informed by cultural, emotional, and spiritual influences, beginning with the formative presence of his grandmother, whose care and worldview shaped his earliest understanding of life and loss. Later, workshops with Chien-Chi Chang and Antoine d’Agata became turning points, pushing him to question and challenge the foundations of his practice. Working across photography, text, video, and sound, he works with the tension between past, present, and future

He is the co-founder of Arttaca, a platform dedicated to authenticating and supporting contemporary art and photography. He is also a member of Bad Eyes Collective and co-founder of Published by BAD EYES, an imprint focused on personal and critical approaches to photography.
