Julie Daniels lives in coastal LA and loves meeting people, listening to music, and welcomes any opportunity to travel the world. She has a unique vision when it comes to photographing people, seeking to bring out the essence of the individual, that beautiful, unexplainable light that shines from within. A portrait by Julie typically shies away from the clinical, often cruel accuracy that has become synonymous with todayās precise digital technology, and draws more toward a dreamy, almost nostalgic aesthetic.

Julie: Meeting Peter Lindbergh last year when my six year old modeled for W Mag. I love how he sees people, and itās so beautiful, and gritty, and timeless, and honest, his work gets even better as he ages (heās 70), yet heās full of boyish enthusiasm for photography. He very generously let me watch him work for three days and answered all my questions.
