From the Streets to the Studio
Seven years ago it was me, a beat-up camera, and zero clients, shooting on the streets of New York.
No studio. No roster. No bookings. Just the city, the light, and whoever trusted me enough to stand in front of the lens.
Seven years later, Dante's Models is a working photography studio and modeling agency based right here in NYC. The camera got upgraded. The approach never did: make the person in front of the lens look like the best version of themselves, then do it again.
Here's what that means in plain words.
Want to model? We build you from zero. Test shoots, a real book, comp cards, and submissions to brands that actually pay. You don't need experience. Some of our models had never been in front of a camera before their first test. Now they have portfolios they're proud of and shoots on the calendar.
Hiring faces for a brand? Simple. Tell us the look, the date, and the budget. We handle the casting, the booking, and the shoot. Our people show up on time, prepared, and easy to work with.
Just want photos that look like you on your best day? That's half of what we do. Headshots, quinceañeras, sweet 16s, fashion, portraits. No stiff posing, no awkward silence. We put on music, we talk, we shoot, and you walk out with pictures you actually post.
One more thing, because people always ask: there's no fee to join the roster. We make money when you book work, not before.
This is NYC. We move different here.
