About DANIELA
Daniela Alves, a visionary artist hailing from Portugal, born with an innate passion for creativity and a discerning eye for aesthetics, has carved an indelible mark in the realm of visual storytelling through her unique approach to photography and motion imagery.
From an early age, Daniela exhibited a profound fascination with artistic visions and manifestations that transcended the mundane, from clothing to extreme music videos, films, and so on.
What sets Daniela apart is her meticulous attention to detail and her distinct ability to orchestrate every aspect of her compositions, from the interplay of light and shadow to the choice of wardrobe, often personally curating to ensure it seamlessly merges with her envisioned aesthetic.
Through her lens and post editing, she weaves tales that blur the line between reality and imagination, inviting viewers to step into a world where emotions are tangible and dreams (or nightmares) come alive.
However, Daniela's artistic journey didn't stop at photography. Driven by her academic path, she ventured into the realm of motion imagery. Her foray into filmmaking and video production was a natural progression, allowing her to extend her meticulous approach to every frame in a moving sequence.
Daniela's journey is an ode to the power of creativity, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Her photographs and films remind us that art is not confined to a canvas; it's a living, breathing entity that has the potential to touch souls, awaken emotions, and spark conversations. Through her work process, Daniela Alves continues to redefine her visual narrative, with no barriers or limits to her imagination and aesthetic preferences.
