Talk

MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with Angela Cappetta (BFA 1992 Photography), a photographer known for her shape-shifting brand of documentary-style work. Cappetta’s work is in museums and private collections worldwide. She is a NYFA Fellow, three-time MacDowell Fellow and has been profiled in The New Yorker. Cappetta’s trademark edgy warmth has sent her on assignments all over the world. This rare, fine art to commercial flexibility has also put Cappetta behind the scenes at New York Fashion Week for titles like T Magazine and Refinery 29. Furthermore, Cappetta has secured a respected niche as an acclaimed documentary-style wedding photographer. She is currently at work on her first monograph with L’Artiere Edizioni called Glendalis, to be released at Paris Photo. In it, Cappetta, herself a youngest daughter, traces the life of a multigenerational family on the edge of Lower East Side gentrification through the eyes of their youngest daughter.
