Summary: With Less Vegas, Mauro D’Agati introduces us to his first American photo project. In this book D’Agati explores Americana and American lifestyles with the same peculiar fascination and curiosity that is common to his work. The vacation photo album for “Fabulous Las Vegas” was styled and photographed within a span of ten days in April of 2010. It is a unique photographic journal that touches upon the stories and lives of twelve characters that Mauro D’Agati met while shooting in and around Las Vegas, Nevada. These individuals stories are documented photographically and then summarized in short humor-filled texts at the end of the book. Less Vegas is as much about the glamour and grit of the city, as it is about the people who fill its streets, alleys and boulevard Strip.
In his research for Less Vegas, Mauro D’Agati was most interested in focusing on the local residents of Las Vegas. D’Agati wished to uncover a side of Vegas that most tourists wouldn’t otherwise see, and through his exploration of its alleys and outskirts, Mauro D’Agati shows us a Las Vegas that most have seen only less of.
