Evan Amos (VanamoMedia) is an American photographer. He’s not a big name to the general public, but most people even casually interested in gaming history have seen his work - often without realizing it: Throughout The New Tens, Evan Amos meticulously collected, photographed and documented many of the gaming consoles released from the dawn of gaming to the then present day. Because much of his work is dedicated to the public domain, it’s common to see on The Other Wiki, YouTube documentaries in gaming history, publications on gaming and retrospectives, etc.
