Alexis Pesante
Alexis Pesante is a professional photographer with over five years of experience capturing powerful, emotion-driven imagery that blends the energy of live events with the edge of fashion. What began with weddings and Sweet 16s soon evolved into a deeper creative journey—starting in the fast-paced world of event photography and naturally expanding into the dynamic world of fashion.
Alexis first built his foundation shooting high-energy, once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, where timing, emotion, and storytelling were everything. As his creative eye developed, he found himself increasingly drawn to the rhythm, style, and freedom of fashion photography. Today, he works across both spaces—bringing the heart of luxury events into the fashion world, and the creativity of fashion into the event space.
For Alexis, photography was never just a skill—it was an instinct. Long before holding a camera, he could see scenes play out in his mind: the details others missed, the quiet before a moment unfolds, or the beauty waiting to be framed. As he puts it, "I capture not just what is, but what could be."
Through his creative brand, Split-Second Moment, Alexis has captured everything from upscale weddings and Sweet 16s to runway shows, editorials, and behind-the-scenes fashion content. He also serves as the lead house photographer for Bronx Fashion, where he combines culture, style, and storytelling in a way that honors both his community and his craft.
At the heart of Alexis Pesante’s work is a deep commitment to feeling. Whether it’s a fleeting glance, a charged gesture, or a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it spark of energy, he’s there to catch the split-second moments most overlook—and transform them into unforgettable visual stories.
