about

Danielle Towers is a photographer pursuing a career in the arts and publishing.

Danielle graduated this spring with a BFA in photojournalism from the Corcoran School of Arts and Design at the George Washington University, where she received the Distinguished Scholar award and had the honor to address her peers at graduation.

While at GW, Danielle was Co-President of GW’s National Press Photographer Association (NPPA) chapter and worked for GW’s main student publication, The GW Hatchet as a photo editor & photographer, as well as a communications assistant for the university.
