Daphne Wageman (1982), is a visual artist and fine art photographer. She focuses on conceptual and portrait photography and specializes in 19th century glass negatives. She researches innovative applications in photographic processes and traditional techniques in analog photography such as dry plate photography and carbon printing.

After a career in (typo-) graphic design, stylist and designer in 3D LED light ornaments, Wageman graduated with honour as a photographic designer at the University of Applied Photography. In 2018
