Daniele Mah is a portrait photographer specialising in photographing artists with a particular emphasis on women artists.

“Many of Mah’s past assignments as a professional portrait photographer have been for high-profile newspapers and magazines. Varied and engaging as they are, this series is different. It is her personal conception and an ongoing project that started seven years ago during conversations with the art critic Edward Lucie-Smith. As a portrait photographer, and with her deep passion for art and photography, she found herself naturally drawn to figurative art. Her resulting photographs, with their artistic references, have been exhibited in several exhibitions. Her continuing interest in the subject matter of female figurative artists led to her compiling notes and sketches utilised to visualise the compositions and scenarios in advance of her sittings. Using a medium format camera as her tool, her powerfully interpretive vision creates a synergy between her ideas and impressions, the sitters and their art”
