I'm Danny, and this is my story...
I was born in Venezuela in 1982.
Thanks to my generous parents, I experienced photography since childhood.
Analog cameras, rolls and negatives were occasional toys for me as a deeply curious kid.
As a university student, I purchased a digital camera (the one in my hand) with my first ever salary.
I was the photographer of my friends and family, and a few times I won university photo awards.
I dreamed about studying or working out of my home country.
The unique opportunity came in 2014, when I moved to Panamá.

Gracias a todos los que contribuyeron, aún sin saberlo, a que este día llegara. Hoy despido con un emotivo "hasta luego" a mis amores, familiares, amistades y compañeros para asumir nuevas oportunidades profesionales y seguir construyendo la historia de nuestras vidas. Seguiré por esta vía compartiendo con todos y atento a cualquier apoyo que desde nuevas latitudes pueda brindarles. Un fuerte abrazo a tod@s!

A la bella #Panamá, canal de oportunidades y esperanza, quiero dar las gracias. Hoy hace un año en tu patrio mes pisé tu generoso suelo para seguir realizando sueños. Siga el progreso acariciando tus lares por siempre en el campo feliz de la unión.
Although I was passionate about photography, for several years I had no professional camera, mostly making photos with my cellphone.
Until the day I knew I was to become a dad, when my life changed (for better!) forever.
Then I bought my first "upper entry-level DSLR" Nikon D5500, to capture moments with her, my favorite photography subject.
Later, I discovered my second most favorite subject: Nature.
After this, I bought my first telephoto lens, a Sigma 150-600mm.
Appreciation through Photography of Nature expressions (landscapes, birds, trees, insects, flowers, among many) has contributed significantly to my inner peace and personal growth.
Through the camera I have been privileged to seize memories in iconic places in Panamá, Venezuela, Brazil, Perú, Costa Rica, Argentina, the United States, Guatemala, Colombia and the Dominican Republic.
As a lifelong learner, I am currently exploring about other genres of photography, fine art printing and photo book design.
After four decades, photography has helped me to shape my purpose:
