Sodney Dorante – NYC Freelance Photographer

Hi, I’m Sodney Dorante—a New York City-based freelance photographer with over five years of professional experience behind the lens and a decade of experience in front of it as a model.

My journey into photography started from the other side of the camera. After spending 10 years modeling for fashion and commercial brands, I launched my own brand and quickly found myself drawn to capturing the story, style, and energy of others. That creative shift led me to photography—not just as a passion, but as a purpose.

Today, I specialize in portrait, fashion, and product photography across NYC. What sets me apart is my dual perspective: I understand how to direct a shoot not only as a photographer but also as someone who knows exactly how it feels to be in front of the camera. That insight helps me guide my clients with confidence, comfort, and intention.

Whether you're an aspiring model, a small business owner, or an artist looking to showcase your brand—I’m here to bring your vision to life with professional imagery and an experience like no other.
