Sabato Visconti

Sabato Visconti is an award-winning new media artist and photographer based n Western Massachusetts. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, and raised in Miami, he went on to earn a B.A. in Political Science from Amherst College.

His work has also appeared in TIME, Vogue,WIRED, The New York Times, AI-AP’s “Latin American Fotografia 4” Anthology, and in Photographer’s Forum’s annual “Best of Photography” books for eight straight years.
