Michael Fanelli is a photographer and graphic designer based in Clinton, Connecticut. His work in photography began with film, particularly using medium and large format cameras both in the field and the studio. Although he now uses digital equipment, the process remains largely the same: to render an image intentionally, using the language of traditional photography, even when pursuing experimental imagery. Celebrating what can be seen with a camera that at times may not be viewable to the eye under normal circumstances.
Michael is a member of the arts group Gallery One CT. He exhibits his work in galleries throughout New England and was selected to show work in the Nor’easter exhibition at the New Britain Museum of American Art.
Michael is also co-owner with Annie Wildey, a painter and printmaker, of AiR Studio Gallery located in Westerly, RI
