Photographer's Profile

Whitney Dafoe

United States

I have always been passionate about creating things. Whether it is photography, music, art, food, gardening, or anything really, I find a lot of meaning in creating beauty in the world around me. I have been photographing since high school and it has been my main creative outlet since then, often completely dominating my life. I have travelled extensively, to all 50 states and many countries worldwide. I currently am fighting a serious chronic illness called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) which has become so severe I am bedridden, unable to speak, eat, drink or even move much some days. But I remain hopeful in a cure someday. In the meantime I try to continue pursuing my passions and photographing however I can.
