About the photographer
Carl Cascella's formal training in photography began in college where, at Harvard's Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, he studied black and white and color photography.
To supplement these courses, Carl participated in George Tice's photo workshop in Aspen, Colorado. He was also a member of Minor White's graduate Zone System class at MIT. In addition to his photographic training, Carl studied drawing and oil painting at the Art Students League of New York.
About the photographs
The natural world- mountains, streams, clouds, and trees- inspired this series of images.
Some are representational; more are what might be described as abstract. Either way, my intention is to create photographs that convey an effect that transcends the literal.
As you view the images, you’ll see that I have attempted to create visual metaphors to convey the essence of my subjects. I’ve also tried to imbue the photographs with a sense of both wonder and humor.
For example, camera and lens transform a series of waves into a close-up of a spider web; the gnarled bark of a tree trunk radiates the colors of a rainbow; a swirl of clouds portrays one of those vexing political conversations that we resolve forever to avoid.
I hope you enjoy my images. And, please feel free to send your questions and comments to me at
All the best,
Carl Cascella
How to Order Prints
We can create prints that accommodate your space, from 13 x 19 up to murals as large as 40 x 60.
Images are printed on archival paper made by either Canson or Hahnemühle, European manufacturers whose origins date back to the 16th Century. Their museum-grade papers produce sharp details and vibrant colors that work so well with our photographic style.
Prices start at $95 for a 13 x 19 archival print.
In addition, we can also print on metal, a new medium that transfers dyes directly onto aluminum.
For some images (such as Rainbow Bark, Profusion, and Lobstahs), this process creates a stunning dimensional effect.
The most direct solution is for you to email me with the name of the print and your contact information. We can then discuss specifics- such as price, size, and material.
