53 Allan Amato - Photographer and Filmmaker

Published: March 10, 2022, 8 a.m.

Allan Amato is a Zimbabwe born, L.A. based photographer. He discovered his love for photography after Hurricane Katrina forced him to re-examine life. Since then, he has worked with a variety of clientele including Nick Nolte, Terry Gilliam, Neil Gaiman and director Kevin Smith who said of him, \u201cI can\u2019t stand to look at myself unless I\u2019ve been photographed by Allan Amato.\u201d

\n

Allan also directed a feature-length documentary with creative partner Olga Nunes called Temple of Art, but his lifelong dream is to become an honorary member of Monty Python

\n

His eye has been described as \u201ca cosmic camera that sees through mortal skin to reveal the lambent ideal self beneath,\u201d and it has been said of him,\u201cWhere Amato aims his lens, gods and superheroes are conjured. vinyl mythologies are summoned; mere flesh becomes dreamscape and everything, especially the grotesque, is beautiful.\u201d
