“Traveling to discover & capture the beauty of this captivating world, one destination at a time.”

Welcome to Dani Ashley Photography! I’m a self-taught photographer on the east coast of the United States, who travels around the world to explore intricate landscapes! My photography has been recognized by Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Islands Magazine, and a NatGeo Editor! I follow my heart no matter where in this world it may take me, as it opens my eyes & heart to a new way of life!

Behind the Camera:
My passion for photography started when I was just 16 years old. A love for sunrises & sunsets grew into something much more... Something much larger than I ever knew I was capable of experiencing.

I experienced my first international travel in 2011, and was astounded at the stunning landscapes. I started researching different destinations, and decided, all of those screensaver, picture-perfect destinations, I wanted to see for myself. Traveling turned into an obsession, and in turn, it set my passion for photography on fire! With each place I've traveled, I've spent countless hours researching to make sure I don't miss out on exploring/photographing any beautiful spots. When I first started my Bucket List, it consisted of 5 dreams:

1. Travel to The Maldives & stay in an Overwater Villa with glass floors.
2. Witness the Northern Lights dance in the sky.
3. Travel to Seychelles & explore its mind-blowing, tropical granitic islands.
4. Explore Santorini, and stay in a cave house in Oia overlooking the Aegean Sea.
5. Travel to Aitutaki in the Cook Islands, and explore its pristine lagoon.
​
These dreams, I have now made reality! If you put your mind to it, you'd be amazed at what you can accomplish! I am living proof, that if you REALLY want something, you will find a way to make it yours! I hope my photography inspires you to travel this oh-so-beautiful, world.
