Photographers should never underestimate that having the right paper to print on is as important now as it was when everything was done in the darkroom. At my studio we spent\u00a0countless hours exploring and testing all kinds of archival photo paper, and each trial was based on feeling its weight, getting the look, feel and consistency as some of my favorite fiber-based papers from the past. All of those qualities are found in the Hahnem\u00fchle Digital FineArt Papers<\/a>. There is a great sense of pride and joy when we are able to see a great photo we had taken printed on the right quality paper and held it on our hands. Is not just about printing a photograph but also about preserving the moment in a tangible form so it can be shared with generations to come.<\/p>\n

Being represented in the Weston Gallery<\/a>, one of the oldest and most respected galleries of its kind and a world leader in the field of fine vintage and contemporary photography, this becomes all the more important for when you are alongside legendary photographers like Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand, Irving Penn, Man Ray, Yousuf Karsh to name a few, means that everything must be not just visually powerful, but with a long-lasting archiving life. With discerning eyes, art collectors are scrutinizing everything about a photograph, so it\u2019s critical for the raw materials to be of the highest quality available. My prints made on Hahnem\u00fchle Digital FineArt Paper, e.g. Photo Rag\u00ae Baryta<\/a> have been met with a glowing praise from photographers, curators and collectors alike.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Despite years in the business, I still find the same excitement for the craft that gripped me when I first picked up a camera. I maintain a passion for sharing my subjects’ stories through documentary and fine arts photography. I want to continue exploring the human condition and to deeply immerse myself in projects that touch and inspire. It is my hope that, for a short moment, when viewers look at the printed image, they sense the beauty, the vulnerability and the souls of my characters and that same exhilaration I felt when I pressed the camera\u2019s shutter.<\/p>\n

I never planned on becoming a professional photographer. I always thought I’d become a doctor, but during my senior year in college I began to have doubts about a career in medicine. Around that time that I bought a camera, and while browsing in a bookstore, I found a magazine titled \u201cDarkroom\u201d with Ansel Adams profiled on the cover. Paging through Adams’ powerful black-and-white landscapes left me hypnotized. In that moment I had a feeling that the camera I had just purchased would be my connection to my future. I went home with that copy of Darkroom, and phoned Ansel Adams.<\/p>\n

That first conversation with Ansel Adams led to many more, until we established a warm mentoring relationship that guided me through the initial days of my artistic career.<\/p>\n

My professional break into photography came when in 1982 I was hired as a staff photographer for The Chattanooga Times. That photojournalism experience was invaluable, but I soon left for the Washington, DC area, where I began a successful freelance career, shooting for magazines such as: Der Spiegel, ESPN, Forbes, LIFE, Newsweek, People, Stern, and Sports Illustrated. I thrived in the freelance role, specializing in portraits of celebrities and industry leaders. As someone who was raised with a love and interest in all those around me, shooting portraits was a way for me to capture and highlight subjects\u2019 unique spirits.<\/p>\n

I find artistic influences in everyday life. From the moment I get up, I\u2019m absorbing what I see, what I hear and what I experience. I\u2019m stopped by shadows, contrast, forms, textures, angles and light. And I study the work of masters, too. I’ve always admired the work of W. Eugene Smith, Edward Weston, and in particular the street photography of legends like Henry Cartier Bresson and Robert Frank. I love the poetic and dramatic landscapes of Ansel Adams, the magical touches created by Irving Penn, and the powerful canvas strokes of Caravaggio.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”18515″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Manuello is “Photographer of the month” in Hahnem\u00fchle\u00b4s FineArt Gallery in Germany\u00b4s magazine ProfiFoto<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”18522″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
