| STATEMENT |

"The Crossroads is a place between the worlds of time and space where perceptions shift, journeys begin and end.
In exploring our relationship with the elemental forces, earth and water, air and fire, body and spirit, my subjects and I journey together, connecting with the primal spirit of the land, and create images that reveal the essential being of each model. Together we examine the spaces in-between, how and where we choose to present ourselves expose facets of our hidden core. We create a space where the beauty and power of the Immanent Divine may express itself freely. By contacting the transformative power of the Living Earth, we catalyze that energy within ourselves. For it is in that space, if the conditions are right, that we can drop our masks and remember who we really are, if only for a moment."

| BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
Berta A. Daniels is a native of the Boston area, where she attended the Art Institute of Boston, with majors in Photography and Sculpture.
Her fine art photography has been described as theatrical, painterly, and richly provocative. As she explores the figure in the landscape, she invites the viewer to become a co-walker with her and her subject on a journey through light and shadow. Her portraits of people in nature are empowering as well as beautiful. In traveling through of the inner and outer worlds she encourages her subjects to open themselves to personal transformation through acute connection with the land.
Berta's more commercial work focuses on creating images for the music industry, travel, food and fashion. For more than fifteen years she has been working as a freelance lifestyle photographer for magazines, books and other publications as well as corporate and private clients. |
