J'ADORE KEVIN AMATO

For Bronx-based, Kevin Amato, photography documents his life. His fascination with people and their lifestyles. I adore the stark realness of his photographs. Amato explains his style as 'how youth culture and street fashion inspire both mainstream culture and high fashion.' His work has been featured in Dazed & Confused, Flaunt, Trace & Interview Magazine.
