Danielle Regout (1986), The Netherlands:
Born in Latin America, Danielle lived abroad in Canada and Poland before moving to The Netherlands permanently during her childhood. After completing a degree in communication, Danielle became an entrepreneur. In 2011 she founded her company DARE, specialising in digitalising photo archives and creating photo albums. Photography had always been a hobby, but working with so many photographs every day led Danielle to follow her passion and become a professional photographer. Danielle enrolled in the Fotovakschool in Amsterdam and in March 2015 she graduated as a documentary/autonomous photographer.
Since then her work has been exhibited at the Foto Festival Naarden (NL), the Horizonte Zingst Festival (Ger) and in the Melkweg Expo in Amsterdam in her first solo exhibition. Furthermore, in 2015 Danielle was selected as one of the best emerging Dutch photographers by GUP magazine and featured in the book NEW 2016, which is available in bookstores and museums worldwide. Not only does photography allow Danielle to document and capture the world through her eyes, it also lets her experiment and challenge reality. Danielle uses the medium as an artistic outlet and an instrument to tell her stories.
