Danielle Houghton was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1969 and has had a passion for photography since picking up a camera as a teenager. Her commitment to Street Photography really ignited in 2010 and since then she has been very active in the online Street Photography Community. She has also exhibited in London.

She likes to explore fresh ways of documenting the streets we live in where a ‘street’ can be more than the traditional definition and can encompass anywhere a sense of life occurs.

Let us get to know Danielle a little bit better:

1. How did you get into street photography?

In a way I discovered street photography twice – though the first time I did not know what I enjoyed had a name.

In my teens, as my brother dabbled in developing black and white photographs in a cupboard at home. I thought it may be fun…

What does Mar Mikhael mean to you? How would you represent it in a street photograph? Here’s your chance to show us and the inhabitants of this dynamic neighborhood!

BSP will be showcasing street photographs from the community at the upcoming Discover Mar Mikhael Car-Free Day organized by Achrafieh 20/20 (who held a similar event back in September that we also took part in). Get a better idea of what last year’s car-free event was like and all the fun we had at our on-street exhibition here.

You have the chance to showcase some of your photographs by taking part in our contest. The top photographs submitted will then be exhibited all day for hundreds of passerbys to see and get a taste of the city through your lens on Sunday April 7th.
