Rachel Monteleone 

I'm Rachel Monteleone, a New Orleans native with a lifelong passion for movement, artistry, and visual storytelling. My creative journey began in the world of performance—ballet stages, NBA courts, and even the Super Bowl with Beyoncé (a moment I’ll truly never forget). Dance was my first language, and it taught me everything I know about rhythm, energy, and the power of presence.
 

When I moved to New York, I picked up a camera for the first time—and something clicked.
Photography became a natural extension of how I see the world: through lines, light, motion, and emotion.

 

Today, I bring that same sense of dynamic movement and expressive storytelling into every frame. Whether I’m capturing portraits, fashion, or candid moments, I aim to reveal the essence of my subjects—vibrant, honest, and full of life.
