Sparky Campanella

My photographs are typically conceptual and abstract with a quiet, minimalist aesthetic. I approach photography from a personal perspective and am interested in our relationship to nature and to our own sexuality.

I grew up in Pittsburgh and have been photographing almost as long as I've been walking. Photography is a second career for me, the first being software product marketing. This career switch is one of the many dichotomies in my life that I incorporate into my work.

I received my undergraduate degree in Economics at Duke and my graduate degree in Business from Stanford.

I have had solo exhibitions at Dirt Gallery in Chicago, David Weinberg Gallery in Chicago and Koelsch Gallery in Houston. I've shown my work in group exhibitions nationally including Weston Gallery in Carmel; Center for Photography at Woodstock, Woodstock; Umbrella Arts, NYC; The Print Center, Philadelphia; Texas Photographic Arts, San Antonio; SF Camerawork, San Francisco; Gallery 825, Los Angeles; and Irvine Fine Arts Center, Irvine.
