‘DIVINITY & SLAUGHTER’

“Spires balances a duality of the lives of women as well in her series “Slaughterhaus.” Upending traditional photography with movement and illusion, she delivers a story that uncovers the reality underneath and the imposed expectation on these women….. But, why is it so important to find the perfect vantage point to see these women? The need to label, identify and silo women into a category that makes us comfortable no matter if that allows for her comfort is a large part of what challenging these expectations is about.” -Melinda Kozel

“Danielle is boundlessly creative, her style is undeniable, and her taste is impeccable. She is just as comfortable leading, taking charge, and projecting her unique vision, as she is working in a collaborative environment or within an established framework.” - Eric K., Sony

“She is truly one of the most professional, talented, kindhearted , patient, creative, and loving people I have ever met. Plus we had so much fun during our experiences with her . She’s an exceptional photographer with an amazing sense of style and the best sense of humor” - Rani B., Google

“Danielle Spires has an offbeat, kitschy photo studio in Downtown Los Angeles, but she also shoots in her clients’ homes or other locations. But frankly, we’re in love with her studio work. Regardless of where she is, she has a great eye for creating unique images that radiate creativity and fun, and she keeps things pleasantly light. There’s a very self-aware quality to it all, and many of her photos are pushed into ridiculous territory, from regal shots of cats on opulent thrones to her signature double exposure. It’s hard to imagine these images not winning Instagram every time they hit social media.” -Peerspace ‘8 Best Pet Photographers in Los Angeles’
