Moda Monterotti , photographer in Los Angeles, Ca.
I
am the photographer in June 2014 while doing street photography work in
Los Angeles, Ca. and shooting the Actor, Jonah Hill , he assaulted me
with a homophobic slur. He called me a faggot and told me to suck his
d%#k.
Jonah Hill made a public apology filled with lies about
me to try and garner sympathy and get a pass for his homophobic
outburst. It worked for him and to this day he has never apologized to
me. here is the TMZ link to this event: https://www.tmz.com/2014/06/03/jonah-hill-homophobic-slur-paparazzi-video/
Moving forward, I'm a serious photographer and artist.
I
studied Communication Arts Media at Framingham University in
Massachusetts and graduated in 1993, Cum Laude. I moved to Los Angeles,
Ca. in 1995.
I have a fundamental interest in the random people I
meet on the streets of Los Angeles. A street portrait is very
challenging but when you capture a thin slice of someone's essence, esp.
after only a brief and random encounter, it becomes a lasting and
fulfilling event. I normally ride thru the streets on a bicycle bc Los
Angeles is so spread out. Riding a bicycle is a fantastic way to see
things you normally would not have access to.
Like others have said; recognizing those individuals who are overlooked by society feels like a bit of my personal legend.
In
1995 I began shooting head shots for actors using a Canon AE1 film
camera. I have also done many weddings, VIP Events, portraits, and PR
Images for celebrities. I have also shot well over 10,000 portraits throughout Southern California .
However my real
passion was always on the streets shooting random people. I have had 5
bicycles stolen but only got attacked on the streets once in 17 years of
shooting street images.
I shot my first photograph in the first
grade with a plastic Diana camera that my Father gave to me. I still
have my very first photo i shot with that Diana Camera in 1969 of two
school girls running away from me in the school yard.
My
aart drawings and abstract paintings are examples of late night stream of consciousness. I have many other pieces of art on Saatchiart.com search Moda Monterotti Thanks For Reading, Moda !
