Artist Statement:

Some say I'm too edgy. Others have called my work "prostitution". Someone said I shouldn't put pictures of topless girls on the internet, while another said I should take a lighting course. Do people do whatever they're told, generally? That is SO SCARY. Get back in line, do what is expected, set up that backdrop, and those fancy lights, have a "way too complicated" website, carry your big guns to all the events, hang up that useless photography certificate on your beige wall, and just succumb to the mainstream. Not me. We ain't running that kind of show here, lovelies.

Hi...I'm Danny. I work hard. REALLY hard. I'm a perfectionist, and an artist. A bit of an oxymoron, perhaps. If I could paint better, I would, but as it stands, I use my camera to show you a xerox of what I see. My niche is women. I know how to work a curve, and throw a flaw into the shadows. Every woman has the capability to be STUNNING. Regardless of age, size, ethnicity, or genes, there is something about a woman that makes her a goddess. Being an alpha female myself, I can find that within another woman, with eeease. Never under-rate a girl.

I'm going to be real honest here...anything I know about anything, I pretty much taught myself. I dropped out of photography class, beauty school, and my home town. I JUST figured out my camera, I shot with a desk lamp for a good year, and I guess at photoshop. That being said, I know how to make a woman look better then anyone else I've ever met. THAT I know, and that is only getting better, and better. Perhaps I shouldn't admit all this, but hey...we're being honest.

I work with models, regular people, the most progressive galleries, the seediest characters, high fashion magazines, weddings, all the events that make bourgeois society cringe, fashion shows, wannabes, avant garde publications, clothing lines, agencies, and everything in between. I don't take myself all that seriously because photographers (especially trained ones) are a dime a dozen, and I know that. One good move ain't enough to rock the whole show. Too many rockstars, not enough hit songs. Show me something fucking DIFFERENT. Be different. Push the limits, make mistakes, be kind to people, do what you feel in your gut, forget the peanut gallery...do it for the LOVE, not the money...always.


Artist Bio:

Danny graduated from the prestigious Etobicoke School of the Arts, in Toronto, as a Visual Arts major, in 1996. Her humble photography beginnings started in the smoking pit parking lot, back in the fall of 1993. Coercing her friends to dump water on themselves, strip down to wifebeaters, and ties, and stick their hands down their pants, so she could take gritty, and edgy, portraits. Danny went on to take a photography course that year, but was persecuted for her controversial subject matter, high contrast prints, and absolute rejection of artistic authority.

Danny later went on to study Fashion Arts and Cosmetics at Humber College in Toronto, but always keeping her focus on visual style elements. When the course took a "do-as-your-told" direction, she became a beauty school dropout. To pay the bills, she got a job at a local photo shop, mainly for the discount on high end cameras. In her spare time, she continued to pursue her interest in fashion, photography, and style, by creating custom clothes, and accessories.

As her business grew, she took her profits, and made the move to Montreal. Once she established herself, she began to put emphasis back on her passion, and started photographing local chicks, events, and personalities, in her inimitable style. Word of Danny's guerrilla D.I.Y. approach to photoshoots, and her alternative, yet professional results, quickly spread, and her talents were soon in high demand. Edgy, dark, and distinctly sexy, Danny now is building a promising career using her signature style, that separates her from the current crop of independent photographers in Montreal.

Industry Resume:
