a musing about why I do this
 
Hi, my name is
Dani Nomura
 
 
Photographer &
Visual Designer
 
My background is in design, branding, and marketing. My work around visual communication often depends on photography to tell so much story, because capturing a still image requires an experience. Putting four edges around arrangements of light, emotions, artifacts, moments of awe, fleeting exchanges of affection, the graphic design of nature is only possible by creating relationships with the photographed. I use my whole body and self as a photographer, protecting Curiosity and rejecting Expectation. Portraits with me are fun because I'm excited for us to discover seeing yourself in a new light. I turn into your biggest hype girl, and am so honored to do this.
