One of the joys of photography is that you can take it up at many different stages on the journey of life. New York-based photographer Donato Di Camillo got into taking pictures while under house arrest for racketeering and other serious criminal offences he\u2019d rather not talk about now. Donato ended up serving a prison sentence, but with the help of photography he\u2019s put his criminal past behind him and is earning a solid reputation as a street and documentary photographer.<\/p>\n\"Donato\n

The child of Italian parents who emigrated to the US, Donato was \u2028a tough street operator who put the long hours of house arrest to good use by devouring photography magazines and online articles. He\u2019d always been interested in art, along with exploration and wildlife. \u2018A lady on my block would bundle up old copies of National Geographic and Smithsonian magazine and \u2028put them out for the trash,\u2019 Donato explains in a chunky New York drawl straight out of the movies. \u2018My dad brought them in for me \u2028and that\u2019s how the photography seed was planted.\u2019<\/p>\n

While he\u2019s now recognised as \u2028a talented street photographer, Donato had no idea the genre \u2028even existed. \u2018I thought of photographers as photographers, and still do. I\u2019d research techniques and photographers online for hours, and got to know the work of people who\u2019ve influenced me, like Bruce Gilden and Martin Parr. I learned so much this way that when I later did some classes in photography, \u2028I knew a lot of it already.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Donato\t\t\t

‘The trill is gone\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n

Eventually, Donato got a camera with the help of his family, and once he\u2019d served his sentence, he started to take photography seriously. He never got a big break as such, but cites an image of a woman and her son in Brooklyn as the first one to really get noticed. \u2018A woman was arguing with officials on a food line as she wanted an extra baloney sandwich for her kids. We got chatting as she was also Italian, and she invited me up to see where she was living. It was kind of tragic, but I entered the image in the National Geographic Your Shot contest, and it got published. Even better, a photographer called Maggie Steber wrote a really nice critique of the image and that lit a spark. It encouraged me to keep shooting and improving.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Street smarts<\/h3>\n

For Donato, the biggest challenge was learning how to deal with people as a street photographer. That said, some of the \u2018skills\u2019 he\u2019d acquired during his shady past life did come in useful. \u2018Look, if you\u2019re from the street, in my old line of business, you need to learn about people and their behaviour. I had to deal with many different types of personalities before my sentence, and learn how to disarm people and read their body language, eyes. It\u2019s kinda like studying psychology. And with my photos I like to get close, just a couple of feet away, so these \u201cstreet smarts\u201d come in useful.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Donato\t\t\t

One of the many characters on the streets of New York<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

So had Donato ever encountered any hassle during the course of his street photography? \u2018We all imagine things in our heads, so yeah, some people have reacted negatively. I never had anyone punch me in the face but \u2028I\u2019ve had things thrown at me. Nine out of ten times, though, it\u2019s fine, \u2028as I have learned how to read and navigate people. My photography has progressed pretty quickly considering I have really only been shooting seriously for four years. People shoot for their whole lives and don\u2019t get this attention, so I\u2019m honoured, as there are plenty of photographers better than me.\u2019<\/p>\n

Outside looking in<\/h3>\n

Looking at Donato\u2019s street portfolio, there\u2019s a recurring theme of outsiders and people excluded from society, which is not surprising given his background. \u2018Obviously I was accustomed to dealing with these kind of people, and yeah, I do have an empathy with people on the edges of society and their struggle to live. We all have that connection to each other. People either don\u2019t want to see it or they can\u2019t. The head of a Fortune 500 company can have the same problems as a homeless person.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Donato\t\t\t

An 89-year-old woman. Donato says he regularly finds her in some kind of eating establishment while out shooting<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Donato reckons he\u2019s seeing more and more people in extremis in his native New York. \u2018I\u2019ve noticed an overwhelming number of people \u2028in this situation. For me, it\u2019s easier to talk to these kind of people, I know how to speak their language.\u2019 Images of outsiders and the lonely have also mirrored his feelings. \u2018There\u2019s one picture I\u2019m particularly proud of, it\u2019s a woman looking out to the ocean, all bundled up in many layers. It was just her and a seagull. I also felt really isolated when I got home from prison, like an alien having to start my life again.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Donato\t\t\t

\u2018Tale of two sons\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

As mentioned, Bruce Gilden is \u2028a huge influence, but while the \u2018big G\u2019 counts gangsters amongst his subjects, Donato isn\u2019t drawn to photographing them. \u2018Gangsters and criminals, I\u2019m not sure what you mean any more. I know Gilden took pictures of the Yakuza, but this gangster thing went a long time ago. Maybe it was more romanticised when he was on the street. I would like to photograph maybe somebody a lot more serious than street criminals, though, like members of the cartel. Providing I could do it without getting my head blown off!\u2019<\/p>\n

Bright future<\/h3>\n

As the interview progresses, Donato reflects on other areas of conflict that interest him. \u2018I was supposed to go down North Dakota to cover the demonstration about the pipeline, but had to cancel. It\u2019s not really activism or the demos themselves that interest me though, thousands of photographers are covering that. I want to kind of get the story and shoot the people involved. My approach would be to grab locals and get them on an intimate level, to get down into their soul.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Donato Di Camillo is a New York-based street and documentary photographer who got interested in photography while under house arrest. He took it up in earnest following his release from prison in 2011, and his gritty work is attracting international attention.<\/em><\/p>\n

Donato\u2019s past may have been troubled, but his future is looking bright. \u2018I\u2019m talking to you from a photography festival in Miami, and I have some interesting meetings lined up which I can\u2019t tell you about at the moment. Martin Parr is here and I\u2019m hoping to meet him to talk photography. Somebody once said if Martin Parr and Bruce Gilden had a son, it would be me!\u2019<\/p>\n

Donato Di Camillo – Proximity and intimacy<\/h3>\n

When it comes to gear, Donato is a big Leica fan. \u2018I use a Leica M-P Typ 240 digital camera and Leica M6 film cameras. I was nervous when I sold all my Canon gear to just get one Leica camera and lens, but don\u2019t regret it. Leica cameras force you to learn, as they are so manual. The saturation is nice, the colour rendition is nice\u2026 My favourite lenses are the 24mm and 35mm. I do like to get up close to people as it kind of unveils their soul. I don\u2019t make too much of an effort to be invisible.\u2019<\/p>\n\"Leica\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/03\/Donato-Di-Camillo-7.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-20 10:55:48","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103229"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":110118,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103229\/revisions\/110118"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103229"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=103229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
