Allan Amato; (born July 18, 1974) is an American portrait photographer and film director.

Career

In 2005, Amato was working in advertising in New Orleans, but changed his career path after Hurricane Katrina forced him to relocate. Amato was evacuated to Houston, where he bought his lighting and camera equipment.[1]

Seven years later, he began the creation of Temple of Art, which originally was planned to be a small gallery show, but became a published book project due to the show's initial popularity.[2] Soon after, Amato, with oft collaborator and filmmaker Olga Nunes, developed Temple of Art into a feature-length a documentary. The documentary profiles Grant Morrison, Bill Sienkiewicz, Brian Thies, Barron Storey, Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, David Mack, Dave McKean and others,[3] each sharing their stories of their creations, influences and philosophies.

Most recently Amato published his photography series titled “Slip” (with Baby Tattoo Books, 2016) in which he photographed sixty nude models, interviewing each, and exploring the idea of nudity and the culture of shame in society.[4]
