Dante Sisofo is a street photographer from Philadelphia with a deep passion for capturing the spontaneous and candid moments of life. He emphasizes curiosity and the joy of the process in his photography, using compact cameras like the Ricoh GR III for its portability. His philosophy extends beyond photography into life itself, where he focuses on the beauty of nature, personal strength, and continuous self-improvement.
Dante has been pursuing street photography since the age of 17 and finds the city of Philadelphia to be an underrated and rich environment for his work. He has also won first place in a photography contest judged by Martin Parr and received a scholarship to learn under Alex Webb. Besides his achievements in photography, Dante has worked as a photojournalist for the Democratic National Convention and was involved in the campaign that won Joe Biden the U.S. presidency.
He enjoys reflecting on deeper philosophical themes, often drawing inspiration from Ancient Greek mythology, Stoicism, and personal experiences in nature. He also follows a strict carnivore diet, enjoys physical activity, and believes in a minimalist, frugal lifestyle. Throughout his work and life, Dante strives for excellence while maintaining a beginner’s mindset, never wanting to become a master but always learning.
