Hire the Best Photographers in New York
New York City, New York
I’m a New York City–based photographer and multidisciplinary creative specializing in portrait, product, event, hospitality, and brand photography. Originally from Mexico City, I studied Communication Design at Parsons School of Design and have spent the past decade living and working in NYC, collaborating with brands, restaurants, startups, creative agencies, and independent clients to create visually refined imagery with a strong sense of storytelling. My work ranges from clean studio product photography and white-background e-commerce imagery to cinematic portraits, corporate headshots, restaurant and food photography, branded lifestyle campaigns, and live event coverage. I’m experienced working both in controlled studio environments and on-location shoots throughout New York, always adapting the visual approach to match the identity and goals of each client. I’ve worked with hospitality brands, technology companies, fashion and lifestyle projects, corporate clients, and creative teams, handling everything from lighting and creative direction to retouching and final delivery. Whether the goal is polished commercial content, authentic documentary-style coverage, or elevated editorial imagery, I focus on creating photographs that feel intentional, professional, and visually distinctive. In addition to photography, my background in design gives me a strong understanding of branding, composition, color, and how imagery functions across websites, social media, advertising, and print. Available for: • Portraits & Headshots • Product & E-Commerce Photography • Fashion & Lifestyle Photography • Food & Restaurant Photography • Corporate & Networking Events • Brand Campaigns & Creative Content • Studio & On-Location Shoots • Creative Direction & Visual Storytelling Based in New York City and available for projects throughout NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, New Jersey, and beyond.

Hello, my name is Denys. I am a freelance Graphic Designer, 3D Generalist, and Photographer with over 14 years of experience. I specialize in creating high-quality visuals that help products and brands stand out in competitive markets. Along with design and 3D work, I have extensive experience in product photography and commercial photography. I have produced thousands of product photos for retail and e-commerce, including Amazon listings, catalogs, and advertising campaigns. I work with professional lighting setups and understand how to present different materials—such as glass, metals, reflective surfaces, liquids, and textiles—so that the product looks attractive and accurate. I can also create lifestyle images, creative compositions, and short product videos when needed. Whether you need a new Amazon listing design, product photography, branding design, or 3D models for your products, I have the skills and expertise to deliver strong results. I use modern tools and workflows to create visuals that clearly communicate the value of your product and help increase conversions. My goal is to build long-term partnerships with companies by providing reliable communication, consistent quality, and on-time delivery. I understand how important clear communication and efficient workflow are for business projects, and I always keep clients updated during the process. If you are looking for an experienced designer and photographer who understands both the visual and commercial side of product presentation, I would be happy to help. I look forward to discussing your project. Regards, Denys

I design experiences people don't forget. Whether that's virtually or IRL. My work sits at the intersection of creative direction, storytelling, and spatial thinking — bringing immersive concepts to life across hospitality and resort experiences, branded retail environments, live events, theme park and entertainment contexts, and museum and exhibition design. I specialize in taking a space, a story, or a brand and turning it into something guests actually feel. With 20+ years of marketing, content production, and creative direction behind me — plus a degree in Digital Cinematography and New Media Journalism — I approach every project as both a strategist and a maker. I think about the guest journey, the emotional arc, the wow moment, and how the whole thing holds together from entry to exit. My background also covers copywriting, podcast and video production, SEO, social media, and voice work (native English American), which means I can carry a concept from the big idea all the way through to the words on the wall. And if you're not working at resort scale? I genuinely love advising on smaller creative projects too — a pop-up, a branded moment, a content series that needs a sharper point of view. Good creative thinking doesn't require a big budget. Where I work best: Immersive experience concept & design Guest journey mapping & storytelling Hospitality, resort & entertainment activations Branded retail & exhibition environments Creative direction for live events Copywriting, content production & voice Social Media and Marketing Creative Direction If you're building something that needs to be felt, not just seen — I'd love to be part of it.
