Dante J. Cutley is a Photographer based in Los Angeles, Ca. My journey as a photographer began as a kid capturing moments with disposable cameras. In high school, I took a photography class where I learned the Exposure Triangle (ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture), how to develop film in the dark room, and amongst other things.
Realizing that I have the vision a photographer needs, in 2019, I decided to purchase my first professional camera. Knowing there’s a lot of learning to be done, I started photographing everything from Landscape, Architectural, and Street photography. As much as I love photographing those types of styles, photographing people was something I wanted to do.

The same year I purchased my Camera, I did my first photo shoot in Oxnard, Ca with Hip-Hop artist Xprssn. From there, I've been published in magazines, received IMDB credits, and started my photography business DJC Vision.

Recently, I held my first solo exhibit at The Icon titled: The Space at Icon presents: The Vision by Dante J. Cutley. It’s A Collection that displays my versatility from Portraits, Fine Art, Candid Photography, and much more.
As my photography journey continues, I want to focus on doing more Cinema, Documentary, and Studio photography. While in between time, I am still continuing to do the other photography styles that I love.
