Amani Willett

Amani Willett is a photographer who creates photography books exploring personal and social narratives. He studied African-American studies, history, and psychology before discovering photography through Eli Reed's "Black in America."

Willett has published four monographs examining themes of fatherhood, family history, race, and healing. His work combines different photographic approaches and found materials to create unexpected visual stories. He consistently chooses the book format over gallery exhibitions, believing books offer greater accessibility and permanence.

Based in the United States, Willett teaches photography and views emerging technologies as creative opportunities rather than threats to the medium. His projects emerge from personal experiences that connect to broader social issues. (Website, Instagram)
