Todd Joseph Danforth is a documentary photographer and writer born and raised in the 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. Projects include The Art of Losing (2009), Coping with the Limitations of Time (2010 - 2016), and Homesick Blues (2016 - present), all of which explore the ways we navigate physical and emotional loss in community, with our families, and as individuals; and Queer Inheritance (2022 - present), portraits of elders from the first visible LGBT community in modern history bridging the gap between generations of queer folks.

Danforth holds a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Photography from Lesley University College of Art & 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 husband and photographer Adam Steven Neal.
