12 Views of Love and Male Nudity in P-Town

Ron Amato explains his process taking these beautiful photos of men mostly in Provincetown:

“Eighteen years ago I visited Provincetown, Massachusetts for the first time. Although it was a pleasure trip, making photographs is always part of every adventure on which I embark. As usual, I packed my camera, a few lens and some film. At the last minute, I decided to throw more film into my bag. I ended up taking all the film in my refrigerator. Something told me I might need it.”

“I’ve been contributing to this body of work for the past eighteen years. I try to make images everywhere I travel, from Fire Island in New York to Lake Como in Italy. It is made with all natural light, which differentiates it from my other work which, for the most part, is made with created light. It is as striped down and natural as possible, just the human body in nature. There are no affectations, no accoutrements. This work is at once a travelogue, diary, and autobiography. At the end of my life, it will be the body of work I will look back on most fondly.”

On December 5th, Summer Diary heads from its Jersey Shore home to South Beach to exhibit at “the gayest fair at Miami Art Week” — the Art Gaysel show at Hôtel Gaythering.  “Alex Guerra, Art Gaysel’s founder & curator, reached out to me on Instagram to come down this year and show” says Billy. “I couldn’t be more delighted and honored to be a part of this diverse talented group of gay artists Alex has put together.”

Now in its 4th year, Gaythering’s Art Gaysel event hosts over 30 gay artists.  “If you’re into collecting queer art and having a good time” says Billy, “this must be the place for you to be in Miami Beach evenings during Art Basel”.
