Welcome to my website!

I grew up and built my career in Toronto, and now call San Francisco my home thanks to securing a US O1-b ‘Extraordinary Artist’ visa in 2023. As one of the original traveling models, I've dedicated half of my lifetime to the world of art creation, always striving to make evocative and beautiful visuals with inspiring artists while seeing the world!

To be the best model I could be, I earned diplomas in the arts surrounding photography that have an affect on the outcome. I studied film photography and processing to understand lighting and framing, fine art history to understand dynamic posing, makeup/skincare to understand how best to paint/care for my skin, and photo editing to understand how to AVOID photo editing in the first place by being more aware of poses and how elements might flow together… and also… how to edit photos to appear polished (but not overdone). To say I love making art would be a vast understatement. It’s my life’s meaning, and I adore experimenting with all creative mediums.

My industry-standard rates always include hair, makeup, and artful nudity, simplifying the process for clients who can just show up with an empty SD card and a full battery!

Having had the pleasure of working on over 5000 sets, I've earned a sterling reputation and built meaningful relationships with some of my biggest inspirations on both sides of the camera. I frequently travel and am often available for workshops and photoshoots across North America.

Looking forward to creating art together!

She is everything a nude art photographer could ask for: she is beautiful, she is reliable, she is professional, she does her own make up extremely well (Dream Clean Makeup), she has lots of experience, poses really well, she shares great ideas, and she is fun to shoot with.

  • "Dane Halo is hands down one of the best models and professionals I have ever worked with. On top of that, Dane has a radiant personality and is very thoughtful of the whole creation process. She is a brilliant photographer and editor as well. I loved collaborating with her on how to make the edits pop for our audience. We spent a lot of time ironing out what we would do for a shoot, and she was very patient with my busy schedule. In the end, she has become one of my favorite models. I hope to do much more work with her in the future."

    —ColoredEntropy

  • "Dane is amazing! She's a natural at hitting the right poses at the right times, and is a real trooper when it comes to location shooting. "Hey Dane, I want you to sit on this rotting chair in an asylum basement while my assistant kicks plaster dust and asbestos into the air" is met with an enthusiastic "OK Ian!" Dane is a hell of a lot of fun to hang out with, for days on end, even if she's always off in search of poutine and other Canadian delights. I can't wait to work with her again!"
