Nico Amato

Fine Art Photographer | Intimate & Editorial Visual Work

Providence, Rhode Island, United States

About

I’m a fine art photographer working in intimate and editorial imagery. My focus is on moments that feel observed rather than performed. Or as I like to say, “NOTICED. NOT STAGED™.” I’ve been shooting since 2015, and over time my work has grown into a more focused fine art practice. I work on commissioned projects, personal series, and collaborative creative work, with an emphasis on images that feel thought provoking and emotionally present. I’m based in Rhode Island and available for commissions, collaborations, and exhibitions, in New England, and am open to traveling anywhere outside of New England for active projects. Due to my husband’s work, I find myself somewhere new every few years—maybe I’ll be in your city next! Feel free to message me- I’d love to connect!
