Long Island City Photographer

Photography and Modeling in Long Island City

Long Island City (LIC) is on the Queens side of the East River, facing the Manhattan skyline. Back from the waterfront there are old industrial buildings and a growing art scene. Dante's Models is a photography studio with a model roster, and we shoot all of it.

Long Island City's Best Photo Locations

Start at the water. Gantry Plaza State Park has the restored gantries, the Pepsi Cola sign and a wide view of Manhattan, which is a lot in one frame for dramatic portraits and fashion. The Pepsi Cola Sign on its own is big, red and old New York, and from the right angle the Queensboro Bridge and the skyline sit behind it.

Hunters Point South Park is the newer stretch: modern design, lawns, a promenade and river views. It looks clean and current.

Away from the river, MoMA PS1 is one of the oldest and largest non-profit contemporary art centers in the U.S. Its building textures and outdoor installations suit editorial and creative fashion.

Queensbridge Park sits right under the Queensboro Bridge, with recreation space and a neighborhood crowd. We go there for gritty urban shoots.
