Todd Joseph Danforth is a documentary photographer and writer born and raised in the post-industrial Blackstone River Valley of Massachusetts. His photographic work is deeply informed by loss and explores themes of memory and legacy through the lens of family–both biologic and chosen. Ongoing projects include a multi-decade three part series titled The Art of Losing (2009 - present) exploring the ways we cope with both physical and emotional loss in community, with our families, and as individuals; and Queer Inheritance, a portrait series of LGBTQ+ elders meant to bridge the gap between generations of queer folks.

Danforth holds a BFA from Lesley University College of Art and Design. His work has been published and exhibited in the United States and internationally.

He splits his time between Palm Springs, California and Boston, Massachusetts with his husband Adam. Together, they own and operate Danforth Neal, an award-winning destination wedding photography studio.
