Donato Di Natale

From being raised in the good ole’ Midwest and being exposed to life’s ups and downs, I am able to showcase my life in my work which speaks volumes in creativity and vitality. Although my roots are in Chicago, my heart is in Orange County. I bleed Italian blood which means I’m loud and opinionated, but have a big heart and a passion for the arts. My photography spans far and wide. My work is interpretative and is a reflection of crucial life experiences which allows my originality to shine through. I find inspiration in my travels, the music that plays in my head, and the people I encounter on my daily life journey. All of these essential motivators allow me to produce work unlike anyone else’s.

While achieving unparalleled creativity is my number one goal, I strive to be comfortable and relaxed in both the studio and shooting on location. I enjoy shooting in unique environments because of the challenges they may possess. I think the best photos are taken in uncomfortable environments because your adrenaline starts pumping and your work becomes that much more meaningful. No matter what I’m shooting whether it’s fashion, portraits, weddings, or landscapes. I take great pride in my work and hold myself to standard unlike any other.

Capturing art is my life.
Discovering beauty is epic.
