Daniel Shapiro is a photographer, floral designer, producer, and image curator. He grew up by the sea in the Pacific Northwest. At a young age he read Vogue, WSJ Magazine, W, and i-D - he took solace within the fashion editorials. He draws inspiration from Pre-Raphaelite painters, Hayao Miyazaki films, archival runway shows (think Alexander McQueen SS 2001 or Hussein Chalayan AW 2000), and humanity's ever changing relationship with our planet. Currently, he lives in Seattle.
"Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life. I don't think you could do away with it. It would be like doing away with civilization,"
–Bill Cunningham, photographer for The New York Times
