My name is Dante Sisofo. I'm a 26 year old street photographer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My passion for photography began in 2016 when I was studying photography in University. I graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. I was awarded first place in the Miami Street Photography Photo Slam in 2016, judged by Martin Parr. In 2018, I received a scholarship to learn under Magnum Photographer, Alex Webb.
I've also studied in Jerusalem, Israel at Hebrew University. Every weekend in my free time, I would take the bus from Jerusalem to Jericho to take pictures. Upon graduating in 2018, I returned to Jericho and lived with a Palestinian family. This influenced me to join the Peace Corps as a volunteer in Zambia, Africa in 2019. Due to Covid-19, I was evacuated from Zambia and am now living in my hometown, Philadelphia.
I also have experience photographing in the political arena. I worked as a photojournalist in 2016 for the DNC in Philadelphia. Most recently, during the presidential election, and due to Covid restrictions, I worked as a field organizer helping to elect our current President, Joe Biden.
