Daniel-José Cyan
I've been taking photos seriously as of 2014 but started freelancing in 2016.
I first started with capturing photos of the things that most interested me- often the things that were most aesthetically appealing, and living in new york city, that was easy. shortly after that, i worked my way up to asking people if they could model for me, and i did portraiture for years.
photography then became one of the mediums I used to express my life story and identity. My latest projects have been exploring my everchanging and evergrowing sense of spirituality. i'm a seminarian and a social work student as well as an artist, and i'd become most interested in using the lens to explore the connections with the divine.
I graduated with a bachelor of arts in film from Hunter College in 2020 where i learned how to use a camera to better tell the stories I want to tell.
december of 2024, i pulled together my first independent art showcase titled "Ethereal". I hope to continue making and cultivating spaces for artists that are strategically and societally silenced.
