Manuello Paganelli

Teaches at Los Angeles Center of Photography

Manuello Paganelli (www.manuellopaganelli.com) grew up in several exotic places such as Santo Domingo, Italy and Puerto Rico. He went to school in Tennessee and planned to become a medical missionary doctor then shortly after purchasing a camera for the very first time his life totally changed when he read a magazine article about a great photographer. He was so astonished by this man’s life and art that as soon as he finished reading the article he decided to call him. Manuello dialed information for Carmel by the Sea, California and that is how his friendship and mentoring with Ansel Adams began. 

In 1989 he began to explore Cuba in search of his relatives, its land, the people, and its complex relationship with the USA. In 1995 he had his first solo photo show of his work on Cuba and that same year earned him a fellowship grant. He has led photography workshops throughout the world and has exhibited at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, at the prestigious Manege Museum during the Photo Vernissage 2012 in St. Petersburg, Russia and art galleries across the USA.  

His award-winning work has graced the covers and pages of many well-known magazines including Time, Newsweek, Bloomberg Businessweek, Bloomberg Market, ESPN, Forbes, LIFE, Men’s Journal, People, Reader’s Digest, Sports Illustrated, Stern, Spiegel and many more. 

When he is not traveling the USA or the world on freelance assignments or leading photo workshops adventure, Manuello spends his time with his family and their two dogs (Irish Wolf Hound and a Tibetan Terrier), riding his Vespas, or practicing Hapkido. He currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
