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. Let’s create something memorable together. https://www.capturedbysod.com/investment daily 0.75 2025-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Investment https://www.capturedbysod.com/faqs daily 0.75 2025-07-06 https://www.capturedbysod.com/portfolio daily 1.0 2026-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/ef149d4e-7b5b-4a32-91db-93cc10087024/IMG_4941+copy.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/99cc0d1d-453e-4f08-b7c5-c5f45a9ce853/IMG_4994+copy.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/e4580346-041f-4906-96c4-70fbd3f928be/_MG_4933+copy.jpg Portfolio A woman having her eyebrows measured with a caliper, with a focused expression, lit against a black background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/fcce5966-a651-4c01-9294-74e53be01560/_MG_4992+copy+2.jpg Portfolio Portrait of a woman with medium skin tone, wavy hair, wearing a black blazer, with side lighting highlighting her face against a dark background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/82cd6108-5cad-4151-8e61-57baa096630d/IMG_8238+copy.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/f0eae9bb-d6d8-4fe6-a09e-6565fdf6ce25/IMG_3065+copy+2.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/dddc0aa4-5bb6-4a85-83c6-398dd7c6b099/IMG_3078+copy+2.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/6a702c30-a28c-4123-bb96-537302ea581a/_MG_1548+copy.jpg Portfolio A woman with twined hair and dark skin in a brown sleeveless top, wearing beaded jewelry and a bead necklace, with her eyes closed and hands raised near her neck, against a brown background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/2f91e7aa-7071-4a15-884e-1bd578c1d673/_MG_1544+copy.jpg Portfolio Portrait of a woman wearing traditional African bead jewelry, with braided hair, touching her head, against a plain brown background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/ac6791e2-84cd-4eba-a9d5-80f0fc17e6aa/IMG_9903+copy+2-+%281%29.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/7a22571f-e009-4796-9468-d08f534bcd4a/IMG_9704+copy+2-.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/700a56d3-40d7-43a4-876f-920473d8ffcf/gerardsoloshoot-291+copy.jpg Portfolio A man in a beige suit with a white shirt, gold watch, and necklace posing in front of a white wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/88ce0e7c-7f4f-49b0-bd4a-ccba14b209f9/gerardsoloshoot-278+copy.jpg Portfolio A young man with dark skin and short hair wearing a beige blazer, white shirt, gold watch, and a necklace, sitting against a plain white wall, looking confidently at the camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085ed3cab9f27249af25c99/7a5576f0-d6aa-444c-b1d8-e8ed814cdecb/IMG_8721+1+copy.jpg Portfolio A pregnant woman sitting on a wooden stool with her partner kneeling in front of her, kissing her pregnant belly.
