Synopsis

Strong women, accentuated by their beauty and sensuality,

are the hallmark of fashion photographer Daniella

Midenge. Her pictures evoke intimacy and passion, beyond

the outer shell. Black-and-white or color, her photos

have an incredible power of expression that draws the

eye of men and women alike. Her unique style still shows

the influence of photography greats like Peter Lindbergh

and Herb Ritts. But, as a woman and a model herself,

Daniella Midenge is at home both behind and in front of

the camera, informing her art direction, staging, and hair

and makeup--all of which she does herself. It's no wonder

she is reluctant to let others handle the processing of

her photographs. A creative family, her love of high-concept

fashion photos in old glossy magazines, and her

work as a makeup artist all contributed to the many twists

and turns on Midenge's path to photography. But after

her first contact with a camera, she never looked back.

For the first time, Daniella Midenge's best work is collected

in a single volume: one that will leave you wanting to

see more.

About this title

About the Author

DANIELLA MIDENGE was born in Stockholm in 1982.

After completing her degree with a concentration in

photography, film, and advertising at the Riddarfjärdsskolan,

she worked in a studio for the restoration of oil

paintings before starting a new career as a makeup artist.

Because of her contact with fashion photography,

Daniella Midenge quickly developed a strong interest in

the artistic and conceptual creation of photoshoots--

with great success: her first cover for Marie Claire followed

in 2010. She was soon able to add other illustrious

magazines to her portfolio including Elle, Harper's Bazaar,

Vogue, and GQ. Her customer base is still expanding as

major companies like H&M, Guess and Swarovski now

have her do their fashion campaigns. In addition, she is

also a successful model herself; she was on the cover

of Elle and in Playboy. After a few years in Berlin, Daniella

now lives in Los Angeles.

Review

Daniella is a natural force and through her beautiful piercing eyes she sees the world from her own magical perspective that she transcends to powerful images... with her charisma she inspires the person she photographs to let go of layers and to be apart of her fantasy during that certain moment ... The photos she took of my daughter Blue are iconic. (Johan Lindeberg, New York)
