He shot to fame in the early nineties, without any formal photographic training, after the art director Phil Bicker saw Sorrenti's early portfolio of black and white images. He soon began shooting for Harper's Bazaar, catching the attention of Calvin Klein whom he has worked with frequently on both print and television advertising campaigns. Sorrenti has photographed campaigns for Dolce and Gabbana, Chanel and frequently works with Vogue, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times to name a few. Sorrenti shot The Pirelli Calender 2012 and has worked with the likes of Lady Gaga, Shakira and John Taylor.
