Daniela is a writer and photographer. She started taking photos aged about five, and writing a little bit before that. Her photographic habits went on a brief hiatus in her late teens, when she decided that she'd spend all her spare time coxing men's rowing boats, but sometime in her twenties a digital camera was thrust into her hands as a birthday gift and she hasn't looked back.

Since then, she has taken a few hundred thousand pictures, edited the photography news site Small Aperture, ranted extensively about megapixels, written at least one book on photography, and is looking forward to writing some more.

When she's not immersed in press releases, drooling over new kit, or out and about taking photos, you can usually find her messing with her whizz-bang kitchen gadgetry or bouncing around at a gig. You can follow more of her camera-related shenanigans on Flickr (Daniela Bowker) and Twitter (@smallaperture).

She has a mild shoe obsession, is in search of the perfect camera bag, and has a bicycle called Elspeth.
