DIRECTOR AND DP

Danielle Elise is an internationally award winning cinematographer and director. In 2024 she had two projects in Tribeca along with projects in Dances with Film, EURO cinematography awards, and had her first directorial win at the Clapham International Film Fest.

A degree in photojournalism from Western Kentucky University means Danielle’s background is rooted in capturing real life moments, lighting, and portraiture. In film she loves creating music videos, experimental art pieces, and indie dramas; leading a team and using light thoughtfully. Her strongest talent is in the way she captures emotion and fluidity. This has led her to filming for Netflix, Nasa, and the Smithsonian.
