Danny Conant (cdawgie)

Danny Conant is a Washington D.C. area fine art photographer whose work has appeared in many national publications. Her specialty is photographing figures, then she uses a number of alternative processes to produce her beautiful imagery; platinum, silver gelatin, Polaroid emulsion transfers and beyond the digital prints.

Retiring from teaching so she could fully immerse herself in her photography, Conant has studied photography and printmaking. Her studies have allowed her to work with Ralph Gibson, Olivia Parker, Elizabeth Opalenik, Greg Gorman, and Joyce Tenneson.

The view through Conant’s lens exposes the world of a traveler whose witness to provocative sensuous images of figures that are at once earthly and ethereal. Her imagery always respond the sensual, tactile surfaces of a print and one of the first things she thinks about are "does that picture make me want to touch it?"
