From the Streets to the Studio
I started shooting on the streets of New York with a beat-up camera and zero clients. Seven years later, Dante's Models is a working photography studio and modeling agency based right here in NYC.
Here's what that means in plain words.
If you 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.
If you're a brand that needs faces, it's 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.
And if you 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.
