Dani Werner

I absolutely love the work I get a chance to do. It is an honor to work with so many diverse and talented people. This has been a gift and an inspiration to me over the years.

I have a passion for photographically embracing each person's individuality and personality. This is achieved by listening and working collaboratively with all clients. By providing a private, comfortable studio space where people can relax, have a cup of coffee or tea, listen to music and chat about goals for the photo session or just life in general.

Born: Minneapolis, MN. Though I traveled around the world, I’m too rooted here to actually live anywhere else.

Early beginnings: I started out making films, approached photography only to hone my technical skills as a filmmaker. Was immediately swayed by how much an impact a single frame can have. Discovered the challenge of telling a story with just one frame; still enthralled with the challenge today.

Favorite Subject: One could never get bored photographing people. There is a perfect beauty in every person. Honestly. (Trees and alleys are next on the list.)

Poets I love: Mary Oliver, Kenneth Patchen, EE. Cummings, there is always more.

Favorite thing to do on a day off: Biking around the city exploring neighborhoods. Browsing through bookstores.

Favorite Quote: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” -St. Exupery, The Little Prince
