One of the women, aged 35 and working as a model at the time, was allegedly assaulted in a Surry Hills warehouse in 2005.
A second woman told investigators the man sexually assaulted her in 2011, when she was 33, during a photo shoot.
Investigators raided the man's home on Friday and took him to Surry Hills police station, where he will be charged.
The arrest comes after NSW Police established Strike Force Nannawilli in May following reports of a sexual assault against women by a man she knew.
Police said investigations are ongoing and encouraged anyone with further information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
