Goodbye 2023, hello 2024 🤩! It has been a pleasure working with the clients we had this year, and we can't wait to keep it up in 2024. We also made some significant changes this year, such as having a fully dedicated studio to create in. We rebuild our company, Danna Space, and its offerings. And I even have some photos in Time Square (so crazy). I’m personally looking forward to 2024 and can't wait to see what we get up to.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

When creatives come together, magic unfolds!

I had the pleasure of collaborating with @chava_oropesa and @lorena_masso to explore motion, resulting in a piece that truly exceeded our expectations. The idea of pairing wine with our vision felt perfect, as I have a passion for liquids and Chava is a talented food photographer. With Lorena, an incredible photographer in her own right, joining us for styling, the synergy was undeniable. And a special shoutout to Rowan, whose assistance on set was a joy.

Clients, if you seek a powerhouse creative team, we are here and ready to make your vision a reality. 😊

In the creative flow with @truepark7 🎨. No AI or CGI involved, just pure photography with some basic Photoshop (no gen filling😉). I prefer to capture everything in the camera as much as possible. Understanding how different types of light affect the subject is crucial to achieve the best results and save time in post-production. This allows for a quicker transition to the finishing stage. For my fellow photography enthusiasts, I used a GFX-100s with a 120mm macro lens for this series. Leveraging the full power of the 102 megapixels allowed me to crop in further without needing to use focus stacking to get this close to the subject.

This is one of my favorite images from our session. During the customized process of creating these, you only have one chance to get it right before starting over. Watching True work was really satisfying, and each take was completely unique and fascinating to capture.

To provide some background, True and I have been developing a new way of capturing texture while embracing abstract aesthetics. We’ve had a few rounds of refinement, but I think we’ve found what we’ve been looking for!

I’ve been leaning towards more abstract photography in my test shoots this year and pushing myself creatively. For this series, I collaborated with @truepark7 , to create something unexpected. We’ve had a few trials leading up to this point, with lots of mess and material exploration, and I’m really happy with our results so far. A big shoutout to True for bringing her A-game and creativity to our shoots.

Check back soon to see more from this series!
