LAMLook at the canvases
A man with grey stubble and a red wool scarf stands in front of a teal tiled wall in a busy station hall and looks straight into the lens.

LAM is the only art agent that sells numbered oil canvases of strangers' faces for an artist nobody has ever seen.

For art buyers in the US and UK who already buy online, like figurative and street photography, and enjoy owning something with a story they can tell guests.

Peter Shado is a pseudonymous street portrait photographer and the founder of LAM. An experienced photographer, Peter works worldwide.

A busy city crossing at golden hour. Strangers walk in every direction and one man in the foreground glances toward the camera.

How it works

  1. Peter Shado photographs a stranger’s face on the street.
  2. One photograph becomes a series of 5 numbered oil canvases.
  3. Each canvas carries its own number, from 1 to 5.
