About me

Hey, it's
Danaer.

Based between NYC and Paris, I work as a full-time freelance photo & videographer. What drives the work is a pull toward storytelling — building a visual style that's immediately recognizable, shot to shot.

I partner with artists, brands and teams to create photo and video content grounded in authenticity and a clear point of view: content that actually connects with the audience it's made for.

No overcomplicated process. Just clear communication, flexibility, and work that has a reason for being made.
