I trust spontaneity

... and follow my joy!

I am Dani Mariano.

What is challenging about being me is that I photograph the old ways and I show up doing what I want to do believing that something very special will come out.

I will go on an adventure and if you happen to be there and I happen to have taken your shot it is because my heart tuned into you playing your truth.

I capture what real looks like, either it was beautiful or you made it to be beautiful.

It is almost like joy took your picture and I got to be there.

I get scared because of my ways to live in my art.

However I have faith and I get grounded in my joy.

I guess you could say I am committed to having faith and that more energy will come out of that.

Faith that if we follow our joy and spontaneity, the right people will be there and I will know what to do.

I will find aliveness.

The trusting opens up space to then try and figure out our sustainable pay and from figuring it out we can share with more people.

I find it important that we share the challenge of what we are up to: we fully live more from the heart finding aliveness than from logic and having a hard time doing it.

This is our reality, this is our hope and this is our contribution to the world.

Thank you if you happen to be on this journey and appreciate what we are standing for!
