Photographer's Profile

Whitney Dafoe

Whitney Dafoe, United States

I have always been passionate about creating things. Whether it is photography, music, art, cooking, gardening, or any simple activity or endeavor I can be creative with. Photographing is a reason to explore the world, a reason to meet people I would never otherwise meet, a way of communicating that makes sense to me and comes naturally, and a way of creating objects of beauty that impact and resonate and hopefully change other people and the world at large. Since 2005 I have been fighting a serious chronic illness called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) which has become so severe that I am now bedridden. But I remain hopeful in a cure someday. In the meantime I try to continue pursuing my passions however and whenever I can.
