Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicolle Danús
Hi Nicolle, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My name is Nicolle and I am a storytelling artist.
The moment I first stepped foot in the darkroom of my high school film photography class, it was game over – I knew this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Fast forward to present day, with a photography degree and a business of my own, photography is more than just a passion, it’s my way of life.
I capture those raw, unposed and real, in-between moments. I transform life’s mundane moments into artful portraits – the ones you didn’t know would be so important in six months or a decade from now. If you’re looking for light, bright and airy photographs, you won’t find them here – moody, grainy and soulfully warm is my aesthetic. I see things from an inspired and offbeat point of view and capture it in an artistic photograph to admire for an entire lifetime.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The photography industry is beyond overly saturated. Someone can pick up a camera for the first time and call themselves a photographer. It’s frustrating to say the least. And the thing is, the average person doesn’t know what a good photo looks like. Many folks will just go for the cheapest service available. In this industry, you get what you pay for. I’ve been working hard for over a decade to get my name out there. I have good days and bad days but the key is to never give up. There’s nothing else in the world i’d rather be doing than making photographs.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
When it comes to photographing people, it’s prompts over poses.. always!
I want to capture you and your loved one’s real smiles, real laughter and truly authentic personalities. I believe in natural light, I believe in movement, I believe in storytelling, I believe in the art of noticing. I believe in finding beauty in the offbeat, the imperfect and the emotion. I am a memory preserver. I ‘stop time’ with my camera.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
You’ll never regret hiring a professional to document life’s fleeting moments!
