Beauty has all but gone from what's called fine art today, to be replaced by the cryptic joke, the kitsch koan, the Gordian knot of commerce. As the artist functions as the propagator of commodified elite ironies, who will perform the ancient sacred work of the Gods and the Goddesses?.... As I look at Pam up there on the wall I see something I know. Something fierce. I sense the presence of a Goddess. (Glenn O'Brien from Pam: American Icon, p.24)

Sante D'Orazio (American, b. January 23, 1956) is a Modern photographer. His interest in art began while studying fine arts at Brooklyn College. He also studied photography with Lou Bernstein (American, 1911–2005), a member of The New York Photo League, and worked under Philip Pearlstein (American, b.1924), an American Contemporary painter, from 1979 to 1980.
A bookworm until age 25, D'orazio began his career working for Italian Vogue in 1981, and was eventually noticed by Andy Warhol's Interview magazine. This led to a surplus of work involving renowned fashion magazines and business-related clients. His work revolves around a world of alluring celebrities in various stages of undress.
Other publications that have featured D'orazio's work include Vanity Fair, GQ, and Vogue. His pictures have been published in books and put on display in both the United States and Europe.
Currently a photographer for Playboy, his book Barely Private stays true to his theme: a raw, uncensored look at the fashion industry. Featuring photos of celebrities such as Janet Jackson and Christina Aguilera, it is brimming with handwritten notes, creating a diary-like effect. D'orazio is slated to produce a third book entitled Barely Alive.
