We had the good fortune of connecting with Flavia Daniele and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Flavia, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Starting my own business was very hard, I’m a very distracted person and sometimes taking care of multiple aspects of a business is extremely exhausting. Although I think it came naturally when I started to build my career in art. It was something that naturally happened when I started to put my artworks on social medias.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I really consider myself very eclectic and always ready to reinvent myself. I’m mainly know as photographer but I’ve experimented different types of art. I really love the aspects of something handmade and material, even in my photography I prefer something printed that holds that feeling of something touchable. I truly believe that photography is a difficult path, especially fashion photography, and even if I can tell what is my style and aesthetic, I’m constantly in the process of changing and explore new ways to express myself.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Here in NYC, I’m in love with Cobble Hill area. It’s my dream place! But usually if I’ve to show something very particular and unusual I’d take them to the Jewish neighborhood in Williamsburg, it looks like stuck in the past and it’s very interesting.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to dedicate my shoutout to my significant other Luke for his constant support and love and to the city where I’m living now: New York, which I consider a monster that feeds me with dreams.
