D'Agata's work shows the dark side of society: junks, whores, night owls, outcast,... strugling to survive in a modern hard world. The result is disturbing, imminent but at the same time very poetic and beautiful.
He has no studio, uses no tripod, no artificial light, he just walks in the streets searching for that one frame he wants to capture. He's a streetphotographer thoroughbred. He only uses one camera: a silent Hexar Konica. The pictures he takes are spontaneous, sometimes he doesn't even look through the lens.
He merges with the subjects of his work, no one would think of him as a professional photographer. D'Agata is also a tormented soul in today's society.
D'Agata's photos are hard and dark, the persons he shows don't even look like people any more. The images are full of emotions, you can almost feel the pain.
