Allan Amato Livres

"Since early 2012 I have been photographing fine artists and inviting them to interpret those portraits through their particular medium. An artist's work can act as both bridge and barrier; at once deeply personal and highly distorted; the lens through which we present our perception of the world, and the world that in turn interprets us." - Allan Amato

Seraph is photographer Allan Amato's exploration of the confidence and empowerment that comes with modeling nude. Bright and unflinching, it is an exorcism of the architecture, the retouching, reforming, and reconstituting of women spat out of the culture machine. Featuring portraits of Amanda Palmer, Stoya, Bree Daniels, and Riley Reed
