MANUELLO PAGANELLI
Through his camera, Carmel-based fine art photographer Manuello Paganelli explores complex topics such as the U.S. relationship with Cuba and small, under-covered groups and communities like Black cowboys. This is no easy feat, but what would you expect from someone who was mentored by and friends with the legend, the late Ansel Adams? Paganelli talks about his past work and his most current project, “The Pandemic Roadtrip,” in an artist talk hosted by Center for Photographic Art on Thursday, April 8 from 3-4pm. The virtual talk is free for CPA members and $10 for nonmembers. Find out more at photography.org. His work is also represented by the Weston Gallery in Carmel, and Obscura Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
