Hello! You can currently find me in Los Angeles where I am a staff photographer with the Los Angeles Times. I’ve also been staff at the Naples Daily News and I freelanced for several years in Colombia, South America. I do decently well at cutting hair and in another life, or maybe when I’m 80, I want to be a dj.
Photography is my favorite way to connect with people, and connection helps my world go round. I start each day off with a milky cup of coffee and end it with a good book in a warm cuddly bed.
Don’t be a stranger. I’m on instagram and my email is dania@daniamaxwell.com
