Dallas Nagata White was born and raised on the island of Maui, Hawaii, and spent her youth gallivanting around the slopes of Haleakala volcano and endlessly doodling in her notebooks. She moved to Oahu in 2004 to attend the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she majored in Studio Art with a focus on both painting and photography. After graduating, she spent a year assisting a local fashion photographer, then branched out into being a full-time freelance photographer herself. Dallas continues to live on Oahu with her husband Ed and their dog Kodachrome, shooting a little bit of everything—landscapes, fashion, portraits, editorials, occasional events, and travel photography whenever possible. When she doesn't have a camera in her hands, she enjoys painting, writing, playing video games, speculating, and having grand adventures that involve things like lava, high places, and other things her mother is not too thrilled about.
