Soho, Manhattan - Headshots of Dante

A few days ago I took pictures of actor Dante, and we went around a few different locations in Soho near my residence. It was a great experience, and we both learned the importance of having an ND filter, especially when shooting in bright, sunny days. Headshots require patience, something that was hard to find in the extreme heat. But we still managed to get some great shots, and I look forward, as does Dante, to another session in the future with a different outfit and locations.



Dante Rey (born May 6,1986) is an aspiring american Actor from NYC. He is the youngest of two children and was born and raised in Jamaica, Queens in NY. He attended Jamaica High school and later went on to become a EMT. Besides saving lives, all his life he has wanted to become an actor and music producer. He began making music in his sister's basement with equipment he saved up for, but had no idea of how to break into acting. Until one day he got a chance to be an extra in 50 Cent's "Before I Self-Destruct" in 2009. From that point on he has been trying to find the best strategy to become a successful working actor.

Dante has since worked on projects from Rescue Me, to HBO's Bored to Death, to independent films and student films as well. He studys acting at HB studios, taking classes such as Technique and Scene Study, to Improvisation. Dante's goals are to work on television and film. Other than acting Dante enjoys the outdoors and is very outgoing. Meanwhile he is still a EMT and juggles the two completely opposite work fields full time.

Dante got his headshots at City Headshots, Cheap Headshots in NYC!
