My name is Daniel Love and I would like to take this moment to welcome you to my website, and more importantly my art.I have been studying photography since 1998 when I took a community college class. Since that time most of my time learning this art has been independent, but just as enjoyable as I have had a wonderful time experimenting and learning from other photographers in the field.I continue to shoot film, medium format, and do my own printing on a double weight fiber paper.The process continues to be enjoyable for me, especially the ability to print the images.I hope you enjoy your stay here at my website and feel free to contact me with any questions or requests for purchase.

The female human form holds my fascination. I am intrigued by the beauty of that form that is at once unique to the individual while also archetypal to humanity. Each photograph to varying degrees deals with the tension between the individuality of the person and the universality of the female form. Occasionally, the individual is most present in the work. In most, the beauty of the form is the primary subject.In many of my works, the use of light within a studio is my sole aid in uncovering the sublime of the female form. Light and dark play against the line of the body to make it more pleasing to the eye and yet still “natural” and without artificiality. The beauty I strive to uncover is not meant to be seen as primarily sexual, but rather an appreciation of female beauty without particular reference to sex. It is the beauty of the gender that is present; a beauty that is unashamed of its identity.Through the use of a nude form against urban backdrops, the form itself is elevated as it is set among the surroundings. It is a harsh contradiction between beauty that occurs naturally with the stark man-made environment in which many of us choose to live. What is natural and what is contrived, and the interaction between the two is a startling juxtaposition and the desired outcome is further appreciation of the natural.Through the use of a nude form against urban backdrops, the form itself is elevated as it is set among the surroundings.

What you see here is the culmination of a lifetime of love, learning, and friendship as I share my interest in the female form with you. The
contradicting tensions of the individual versus archetype, natural versus contrived, are unified in the central theme to find the unique beauty that is in every female; a beauty that is there to be seen and appreciated, but not always found. It was my quest to always uncover this beauty
