Hi, I’m Manuel Carela, a photographer and visual creator, born in Samaná, Dominican Republic, and currently living in Florida, United States. For me, photography is more than just a passion — it’s a way to tell stories, capture emotions, and preserve moments that would otherwise be lost in time.

My work focuses on nature, wildlife, landscapes, and creative photography, but above all, I’m inspired by the connection between people and their environment. Through my lens, I strive to go beyond simply creating a beautiful image; I aim to evoke feelings, spark curiosity, and pause time for just a second.

Every photograph is a journey. Whether it’s the unexpected flight of a bird, the texture of a landscape bathed in light, or an urban scene hiding a story, my goal is to find beauty in the details and share it with those who experience my work.

Beyond my passion for photography, I enjoy experimenting with creative processes and digital manipulation, crafting images that blend reality and imagination. I believe photography is an open door to explore, inspire, and connect with others.

Here, you’ll find a selection of my work, thoughtfully organized by themes, and each image reflects a piece of how I see the world. I hope that as you browse my gallery, you’ll discover something that invites you to pause, contemplate, and feel.
