Angelo Merendino

Documentary Photographer

<p>Moved by the beauty and frailty of each passing second, I am equally inspired by Capa and Frank as by Kerouac and any human who is aware of the simple magnificence of life.</p> <p>I studied photography at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio in the early 2000&rsquo;s, focusing on documentary photography and building a foundation based on simplicity and a desire to compose images that promote awareness, thought and communication.</p> <p>When my wife of 5 months was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, I found that the most effective way to communicate and share our daily challenges was with my camera.</p> <p>The intimacy of our relationship allowed me access to the most personal of situations, both physically and emotionally. I was with my wife at every chemotherapy treatment, hospital stay and doctor&rsquo;s appointment, as well as every moment of happiness, sadness, frustration or confusion.</p> <p>Based in Manhattan, I am represented by Corbis Images.</p> <!--EndFragment-->
