About Danielle Bedics-Arizala Photography

I was born in Pennsylvania, but spent most of my adult life in Los Angeles, California.

I became interested in photography in 1997 and began taking photos with with a Nikon 35mm film camera. 

While in Los Angeles, I worked as a professional studio photographer for a commercial clothing company as well as a freelance pin-up photographer. I have worked with some of the most beautiful women in the industry however; I greatly prefer being outdoors in nature and working with natural lighting and the challenges it brings.

I spend most of my free time hiking and got my experience in Southern California. I've hiked all over Angeles National Forest, the San Bernardino Mountains, San Jacinto Wilderness, Eastern Sierra and the Mojave deserts; Joshua Tree National Park and the Mojave National Preserve. I've been participating in the 52 Hike Challenge and have kept it on-going since 2017. I also completed the SoCal Six Pack of Peak challenge in 2018.
