While we stay at home, our family, friends, and passions will pull us through until life returns to some sense of normal. These are the things that Matt Zugale explores in his photography.

Growing up on the east coast as an Italian-American, Dominic Episcopo was born into a family that celebrated good food and great music, two things that would most influence and inspire his career.

Dominic emerged onto the photography scene and began cultivating his craft, capturing iconic musicians and celebrities. He soon gained international recognition as a pioneer of the food and lifestyle movement, unabashedly willing to push boundaries and “play with his food” as any good rock n’ roller would. His iconic book 'Meat America' is a testament to this unique style and voice.

His most recent work can be found in a wide range of campaign advertising for global brands; cookbooks and culinary editorial publications; web commerce; fashion; and the private collections of notable contemporary collectors.

Dominic currently resides in Philadelphia where he operates a fully equipped photography and film studio in his converted, historic 15,000 square foot property. When he is not behind the camera you will find him in the kitchen, on a yoga mat or out shopping 45’s for his beloved jukebox collection.
