Rachel Monteleone
NYC Photographer 

I'm Rachel Monteleone, I'm 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.
