D'Amato worked in the 1950s as electric and set photographer, in the 1960s as camera operator, and from 1969 onwards as cinematographer. Starting in 1972, he directed and co-directed around 200 films under numerous pseudonyms, regularly acting as cinematographer as well. Starting in the early 1980s, D'Amato produced many of his own and other directors' genre films through the companies he founded or co-founded, the best known being Filmirage. From 1979 to 1982 and from 1993 to 1999, D'Amato also produced and directed about 120 adult films.
Among his best known erotic films are his five entries into the Black Emanuelle series of films starring Laura Gemser (1976–1978) and his horror/pornography crossover films ''Erotic Nights of the Living Dead'' and ''Porno Holocaust'' (both shot in Santo Domingo in 1979). In the horror genre, he is above all remembered for his films ''Beyond the Darkness'' (1979) and ''Antropophagus'' (1980), which have gained cult status, as well as ''Absurd'' (1981).
