After several years hacking his way through London’s PR and advertising jungle, and another couple of years in recuperative sabbatical in France and Korea, Daniel Allen’s quest for a more Bohemian-styled life of art and journalism led him to the Chinese capital, Beijing.

Building on his strong background in writing, editing and photography, Allen was soon established and active as a freelancer within the Beijing market. His insightful, well-researched articles and award-winning images now appear regularly in a wide range of English and Chinese language magazines, both in China and overseas.

A committed wanderer, Allen has toured extensively through Asia, building up an impressive photographic portfolio, as well as a talent for enduring highly uncomfortable bus and train rides. (This capacity for enduring less-than-luxurious modes of personal transport is sure to be put to the test during Allen's pending expedition to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.)

This site showcases some of his best Asia-related written and photographic work. Articles covering a wide variety of subjects can be accessed at the Article Index, and his photos can be viewed via the Image Index.
