Daniel Traub grew up in Philadelphia, the son of architect David S. Traub and artist Lily Yeh. He is also the nephew of photographer and educator Charles H. Traub.
Traub began photographing at age twelve exploring the streets of Philadelphia. He later studied photography formally with Joel Sternfeld at Sarah Lawrence College as well as film production and film history with Abigail Child and Gilberto Perez respectively. He received his MFA from the MFA Photo, Video and Related Media department of the School of Visual Arts in New York City where he studied with Raghubir Singh, Max Kozloff and others.
Traub lived in China from 1998 to 2007 where he was engaged with long-term photographic projects, including Simplified Characters, a series of street pictures that explore the vast changes at the beginning of the 21st century in Chinese cities, as well as the series Peripheries, which looks at the landscape at the outskirts of several major Chinese cities. In 2007 he moved back to the United States and began a project looking at the city where he was born, Philadelphia. He also continued to travel extensively, including returning frequently to China where he worked on the longterm project from 2009 to 2014 Little North Road.
