About me
I just wanna shoot and flash people. Is that too much to ask?
Hello! My name is Danielle, but you can call me Dan or Dani (most do). Yeah, I fail at life. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop trying.
I'm a tfcd kind of girl (unless you want to pay me, which I won't object to). Like old school photogs, I never pay for models (unless you count treats and hugs as good pay). But if you travel over to me and have come a long way, I'll chip in for trip expense. If I travel to you, I'd expect the same courtesy.
My main goals are to always improve, upgrade, and utilize not only techniques and equipment, but myself as well. I want to give others the look they want for the right occasion. I do pretty well considering I have no studio lighting, no studio space, and a cronic disease. I will gladly accept feedback on my work if presented in a respectable manner. You don't have to be nice and flattering about it (unless you want to), just respectable. No talkin' smack, jack.
My style? Well, it's not really about me, is it? It's about the subject and client, and I always want their personality to shine through. If clients see something in a magazine or an old photo they like, they can bring it to me and I'll try to replecate it to the best of my abilities. As for personal work, I sketch out how I want it to look, diagram it, then get to work finding subjects.
As for models, let me remind you that like good and evil, beauty is all perspective. Corny as it sounds, everyone is beautiful in their own way, and I've been told I'm good at finding it in others.
Message me anytime. I, however, do not stand for con artists, stalkers, or scammers. So please, don't test me. Want to keep updated with what I do? Visit my website!
What do I want from this site? Easy! I want to explore other's work, get new ideas, create contacts, get feedback, meet new people, and get help (lord or whatever runs this planet knows I need it).
Mind you though, not all my best work is posted up here. If you want to look up what I'm currently working on and think you fit the part, visit my website and click on the Casting Call and Help Wanted Tabs. Want to see the rest of a series? I make slideshows and post them on the website and You Tube. Check 'em out! Cause once I'm done will most of them, I'll be putting them all together and presenting them.

When in Michigan I'm all the way north in the tip... if hand mapping it, I'm on the tip of the ring finger, unless you have funny hands. The rest of my time is in Columbus Oh...

Thank you for all the photo comments and listing. I really appreciate that.
I looked at your link, and I think you have a great idea. I had thought of doing something similar, but also different, not quite so much reinacting the song, but more interperating it through a photo. If that makes any sence. It's a project in the works, I've named it "Euphonic Imagery"
