About Me

Daniela is a documentary photographer and visual storyteller focusing on cultural and environmental conservation, indigenous people’s rights, and social change. In 2020, she completed a BFA degree in Photography at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Born and raised in Ecuador, one of the most culturally and environmentally diverse countries in the world, opened the doors to her understanding of the complexity of our human history and current global challenges. From the Amazon Rainforest to West Africa, her latest job required her to live on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea documenting ocean conservation efforts for three months.
