Hi,

I specialises in intimate and individualistic portraits of subjects, both famous or unknown. They are all treated with the same compassion and intensity.

I like making a connection with people, listening to their stories, reacting to them to make my photographs and hopefully convey something of that story.

I love a challenge and bring a fresh style and approach to whatever I tackle. Always finding inventive solutions and infusing my work with a strong colour palette.

I work for many UK and international magazines, tackling commissions for both celebrity portraits as well as delicate and challenging subjects.

In my commercial work I often works with brands and advertising and design agencies to create a tailored visual approach and make the most of any brief.

I initiate and originate many personal projects, documenting subjects as diverse as UK prison reform, coal mining in the arctic, stargazing in Chile's Atacama Desert, or remaking the FA cup. I have also recently published my first Zine - 2PM Lockdown, a personal experience of the Covid Lockdown.

Film making is an ever expanding part of my work, including both Commercial and personal Short Films. The near future, film “interface” was premiered in New Yorks Phillip K Dick festival, "I'll Murder You" was premiered at the Purcell Rooms at London's Southbank and "Glumtree" was shortlisted for Virgin Media Shorts.

I have been luck enough to win many awards over the years and also be included in some collections.

The House of Commons commissioned me to create a series of portraits of MPs, for their permanent collection to be displayed in the Palace of Westminster. This was the first time that the works of art committee had commissioned photography for the collection.

The National Portrait Gallery, purchased the portrait of DJ John Peel for its permanent collection, describing it as "a widely reproduced and sympathetic portrait of the legendary DJ".

Amit was born in Israel and grew up in a small seaside town north of Tel Aviv. He moved to London in his late teens where he later graduated from University College London with a degree in Astronomy and Physics.
