M.E.A.T. America By Dominic Episcopo

His versatile and always growing portfolio encompasses vast extremes of everyday life, jumping between the worlds of high fashion and low-fi indie musicians with great aplomb. He has captured candid celebrity snapshots that feel intimate and personal but has also created images that are the visual stimulus for corporate advertising campaigns with the same effortless case, professional approach and distinct artistic vision.
'I approach things in a very straightforward way', says Dominic. 'I'm not a purist by any means, but I do approach things as straightforward and professional as I possibly can, and in the end, the art comes through in the picture even if it is for something very cut and dry.'
Hailing from North Jersey, listening to U2, The Ramones, The Rolling Stones and The Clash, Dominic's interest in the art of photography was sparked by his interest in music, most notably by the edgy imagery and raw visual reaction he had to shots in his favorite music magazines. Ironically, some of his early and most acclaimed work has been for pictures of musicians in some of the same magazines like Rolling Stone that had sparked his interest in photography in the first place.
