About
Daniela was raised in Miami, where she attended the Art Institute for photography. She moved to New York in the fall of 2013 with an ill-fitted coat and the right amount of naivety. Currently, she lives in Long Island City with her partner and loaf-shaped dog. Her focus is portraiture and documentary photography, searching for playful but tender moments.

Side Projects
Documenting the things my mother, Ermelinda Maggie Flores, left behind after she passed away 09/03/19, appealing to the deep desire to gather, collect, organize, reflect, and assert some order over a seemingly disordered world. With this ongoing project, I hope to develop a portrait of her through the items she surrounded herself with, a portrait I never captured while she was alive.
An investigation into vernacular photography through found film slides. Forgotten images, remembered in a new context.
An ongoing series featuring artists with their artwork projected directly onto their bodies in an attempt to create a portrait that felt layered, textural, and almost as if there was weight added to the image.
