About the Photo:

In works he had displayed at The Gail Michael Collection in 1996, "D’Amore photographs depicts nudes in unlikely places, as with the “Nude on Thames,” a hand-tinted image in which the smooth, supple skin of the model contrasts with the setting, a gravelly beach in London. “Les Halle Nude” finds its subject amid urban Europe rubble, with an Old World building in the distance. With “Bed Pillow,” a study in afternoon light falling in an empty room, there is an unexpected gust of subtle sensuality, minus nudes."


About the Photographer:

Richard D'Amore dedicated more than thirty years to fine art photography, distinguishing himself as a master printer. He first began his work in Mill Valley, California, under the tutelage of artist and photographer Walter Chapell. In 1970, Mr. D'Amore relocated to France with his brother, Robert D'Amore, also a fine art photographer, to work and study. A powerful collection of his early photographs was published in Zoom Magazine as early as 1971. During this time, he taught photography at Camberwell College of Art in London, while building a reputation that extended from private collectors to museums and galleries, both in Europe and the United States.

Mr. D'Amore's work was featured in Camera, Progresso Fotografico, Photocinema, and
Peterson's Photographic Magazine, among other fine publications. His work was also published in Der Erotische Augenblick, by Stern Bibliothek der Fotografie, a compendium of the evolution of fine art erotica. He is listed in the Photographer's Collector's Guide by Lee D. Witkin and Barbara London.

Upon returning to the United States in the late 1970s, Mr. D'Amore continued to expand his artistic horizons, concurrently working for the celebrated designers, Charles and Ray Eames in their Venice, California studio. Using vintage and specialized techniques, such as gum bichromate, carbon, platinum, cyanotypes and hand tinting, Mr. D'Amore took great pride in the handmade print.

There is a haunting timelessness to his work, which has been exhibited and collected throughout the world, and appears in a number of prestigious private collections. He was a respected member of the Platypus Group of premier platinum printers and Camera Press, Ltd., London, associations which brought him great joy. His work appears in the Ironworks Portfolio, the first contemporary exhibition of platinum printing.

His photography bears both an intimate and a universal appeal. The best of Mr. D'Amore, the essence of him, is in each image, presenting his love song to the world, his inner triumphs and torment, his poet's soul. The discriminating connoisseur and the private collector alike respond to the aesthetic rapture of the elegiac landscapes, the elegant architectural and still life studies, and the extraordinary nudes. Each image evokes an immediate connection to the man, with all his artistic integrity and all his personal grace.
