A Bit About Daisy
San Francisco, Bay Area
I discovered a passion for photography at a young age. From the beginning, I recognized the potential of the medium as a tool to see past the surface of the world around me. I came to the Bay Area 20 years ago to earn my BFA in fine art photography at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. I fell in love with the Bay Area art scene, drawn to the the bizarre and unusual beauty I discovered here. I work professionally as a portrait and event photographer and I always make time for my art.
"Daisy is wonderful to work with, has great attention to detail, and works hard to accommodate specific asks."

CIRCUS PROJECT
“It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.”
-Oscar Wilde
I made a book!
I spent the last five years immersed within an SF Bay Area circus community, photographing performers and crewmembers on and off the stage. In that time I developed a body of work that explores what it really means to run away with the circus. Presented with the unique opportunity of stepping behind the curtain, I found myself amongst a wonderful array of artists and performers who graciously let drop the ribbons and paint so that I could see them there before me, living and breathing. They are a family in every sense of the word, bound not only by their passion and dedication, but also by their love and deep respect for each other as creators.
