Désirée De Sade Photography

Hiring Désirée as your photographer, you can be assured of clear communication and expectations, personalized collaboration, friendly professionalism, and creative artistry. Having begun her career running multi-million dollar retail stores, her foundation is providing genuinely personalized customer service while maintaining operational excellence, and she brings those same skillsets to her business, whether shooting a 10 hour conference, a 1200 person gala, or a one-on-one headshot shoot. She’s known just as much for her mastery of light as she is for how she makes clients feel, and there’s a reason clients come back over and over again for more.

As the house photographer for The Glasshouse venues in Manhattan since 2021, Désirée has shot over 200 events including:
-Fundraising Galas like City Harvest, United Way, God’s Love We Deliver, The Fashion Scholarship Fund, and Lambda Legal, Two Ten Foundation

-Fashion shows for LIM and Parsons

-Corporate conferences such as SKIFT, Capgemini, Content Square, CeraVe, Nespresso

-Industry Showcases and Product Launches like Strong NY, James Suckling Wines, Bose, The Inkey List, Cherry Bombe Magazine

-A variety of social events including weddings, Mitzvahs, birthday parties

In Nightlife, Désirée is a go-to photographer for a variety of burlesque shows throughout the city including Hotsy Totsy and Sins&Stardust as well as The Triad Theater.

As accomplished as she is with event photography, portrait photography is her favorite type of collaboration, and she is equally at home shooting with seasoned burlesque and drag performers as she is people who’ve never had a professional photo taken and is always seeking new opportunities and partnerships.
