Who I Am

My name is Haddie Daner and I am a student, worker, and photographer. I have always had an eye for photos and first picked up a digital camera at 10 years old and continued to endure my passion for taking photos. In 2012, I bought a Fujifilm FinePix XP50 digital camera and took photos everywhere I went I took mostly nature and still photos. In December 2013, I received a Canon PowerShot SX500 for Hannukah and took photos more often. I then tried taking portraits of people and felt a different feeling I never had before. A deeper sense of satisfaction of capturing someone's smile. I would take photos of friends and family and in December of 2014, I upgraded drastically and bought a Canon Rebel Ti5. I took taking photos as a profession and started shooting photos professionally mostly senior portraits.

In 2016 I joined the Atascadero High School Yearbook and participated in the class for three consecutive years. I took photos, wrote captions, and edited the pages/photos. Much of my photos in the yearbooks are found in the track and field section, water polo, cross country, cheerleading, and boys basketball. In 2018 I was a Marketing Intern at the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce where I worked on creating and promoting digital posts for Facebook and would occasionally take photos and videos for their social media. I recently graduated from Sonoma State University and enjoyed small marketing projects and taking senior portraits.

 

After graduating with my Bachelor's degree,  I lived in Jerusalem, Israel, and studied Hebrew for two months. I am currently studying for my Master of Arts in Non-Profit Management and Leadership. I am a full-time graduate student, but in my free time, I hope to continue my love of photography and adventuring in the world around me.
