Todd Joseph Danforth is a documentary and editorial portrait photographer and writer born and raised in the Blackstone River Valley of Massachusetts. As a gay man who grew up in a post-industrial New England town, 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 elders in the LGBTQ+ community meant to bridge the gap between generations of queer folks.

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.
