Dante Sisofo is a multidisciplinary artist and thinker whose work spans photography, philosophy, writing, and spiritual inquiry. He lives in Philadelphia and has spent years traveling the world, photographing street life with a minimalist aesthetic and a focus on decisive moments. His approach blends spontaneity with depth, often emphasizing light, shadow, and human emotion through black-and-white imagery. He prefers using the Ricoh GR III for its portability and stealth, and he documents his thoughts extensively on his blog, dantesisofo.com.
He identifies as a Christian mystic and draws inspiration from ancient philosophy, particularly Stoicism, as well as thinkers like Heraclitus, Diogenes, and Nietzsche. Dante also reflects deeply on themes such as freedom, solitude, strength, and the soul, often using biblical stories, etymology, and personal experiences to explore these topics.
Notably, he won first place in the Miami Street Photography Festival Photo Slam in 2016, judged by Martin Parr. He’s also building a new movement in photography called Flux, which emphasizes a raw, unedited style—capturing life as it moves, with beauty found in impermanence and imperfection.
He follows a strict carnivore diet, stacks Bitcoin with long-term conviction, and lives frugally. Spiritually and creatively, he’s focused on leaving behind a legacy of truth, beauty, and art that transcends the trends of his time.
