WHO IS BELLA ROSE DURANTE?

I guess this is the part where I list the millions of things I do/am (I can’t pick one. I want to be everything at all once. A Jack of All trades if you will.)

If you want the short & Sweet Answer: I’m a 24 year old creative Director, Portrait Photographer, & Content Creator Based Out of the Jersey Shore.

If You want the long winded life journey: I’ve been a creative for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I was drawn to the arts—spending hours drawing, painting, and sculpting. In middle school, I became fascinated with YouTube and the world of content creation. At 13, I asked for a camcorder so I could start a channel with my friends. That camcorder quickly became my constant companion, and I found myself not just filming—but capturing moments, experimenting with photography, and falling in love with storytelling through images. I soon found myself buying my first DSLR camera and commit to something I found to be new and exciting.

Photography started as a hobby in high school, but it quickly grew into a passion. I went on to study at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan, but ultimately decided that the traditional college path wasn’t for me. In 2020, right in the midst of the pandemic, I launched my freelance career—and haven’t looked back since. Since then, my work has been featured in publications like Vue NJ, Ones to Watch, Lyrical Lemonade, and Hazze Media. I’ve also had the opportunity to collaborate with brands and companies such as Adobe Photoshop Express, MyMuse, Commonness Apparel (featured on ASOS Marketplace), and Melissa.

With a lifelong love for music, I naturally gravitated toward working with music artists, capturing live shows and creating visuals for album covers that help bring their creative visions to life. I’ve worked with artists of all genres Such as A R I Z O N A, JP Saxe, Ant Saunders, Max Volante, Genevieve Hannelius, Kiaura Rose, & Many more.
