about sydney benjamin
Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, I have been surrounded by creative individuals my whole life. At the age of 18, I signed with my first modeling agency, Envy Model Management. I started off doing test shoots set up by the agency, then got my first job modeling on live television for Nasty Gal on “Good Day LA.” I then did a couple music videos for AJ Mitchell and Holden Sutton for their new singles. From there, I started doing runway shows, walking in Los Angeles Fashion Week for three seasons, doing about ten different shows, walking for designers such as Naeem Khan, Issue Thailand, and Fatim Filali Idrissi. Additionally, in the summer of 2019, I was flown out to Paris for the filming of the new Amazon Prime show “Making the Cut.” I then got signed with Independent Management in Milan, Italy and lived there for two months at the beginning of 2020, working with designers, creative directors and models from around the world. I have personally been published in magazines twelve times, including Vogue Italia, and have been on four covers. I am currently signed with New Icon in New York and Independent Management in Milan.


I love creating art and collaborating with a whole team in order to bring a vision to life. I first discovered my passion for directing when I put together a shoot in October 2019. I got a makeup artist, wardrobe stylist, photographer and another model together and magic happened. I felt inspired and soon this shoot was published in Shuba Magazine. I focused on modeling after that due to going abroad, but once I came back from Italy I began doing solo photoshoots, just me and the camera. Additionally, film is my favorite to shoot so I bought a film camera. The shoots I’ve directed, produced and photographed are all available to review in my portfolio.
