Hey, Hot Shot Entries!: Michael Damanti
Self-Portrait by aspiring Hot Shot Michael Damanti
Michael Damanti’s images are as peculiar as his photography habits. For a bit of creative luck, he likes to clip his fingernails before each roll. To stay on top of his game, he sleeps every three hours and changes his socks 8 times per day. Maybe we can all learn a thing or two from Michael.
My inspirations were always the shots at the end of a roll which came out blurry or off-colour. I have always loved those abstract “mess-ups”, even as a kid. I am self-taught from photography books as well as trial and error. Most of my shots are taken from hitchhiking in Europe and South America.
The deadline approaches. Enter Today.

This photo is very cool on different levels. Yeah it’s a photo lens reflected off a mirror, but it also looks like an Eye and it’s pupil looking back at you. My favorite on the site so far.

Great shot. It reminds me of the Centurians from the Matrix, but without the Bob Marley electro-dreads.

Michael’s work is defientally unique and far from anything I have ever seen. What makes this piece stand out from the rest of the pieces on this site is the fact that this artist looks like he is not afraid to do something artist usually don’t do. Very creative and stands out from the rest of the work that I have seen. I would love to see more of his work.
