RON AMATO: Ron Amato has been making photographs since his childhood in Brooklyn, NY. His early influences were fashion and portrait photographers of the Richard Avedon, Robert Mapplethorpe and Francesco Scavullo. Most of Ron’s adult work centers around the male figure. In the 1990s and early 2000s Ron photographed for fitness and sports magazines including Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness and Sports Illustrated. Ron’s first solo exhibition in NYC in 2000 was well received. Ron’s recent work centers around issues of aging in the Gay community, diverse images of male beauty, idealized body manipulation, image and social media and embracing same sex attraction.
