Bio
Mr. 3rd Party says:
Born in Montclair NJ, 1961, raised in Brooklyn NY, Mick Cantarella now lives in downtown Manhattan NY. He graduated from CUNY with a BS in Communications Media. Mick then started Grampa Studios, a studio for audio recording, which operated for 30 years. Over the last half decade Mick has taken to photography. When his father Francesco Cantarella was still alive, they would roam the New York City looking for people to photograph. Mick has continued this interest, taking his work into his subject's homes, on location, and the studio as well. Mick continues to develop his eye and talents.
Mick Says:
These days I mostly like to photograph people. When you look at someone, especially a stranger, you don't really look at them too deeply. It's invasive. I like to provide photographs of people so you can take the time and really look at them. The live subject is not there anymore to make the viewer feel inhibited.
