This week on Negative Influence, I sit down with New York-based photographer Angela Cappetta. Known for her emotional storytelling and deep ties to traditional film, Angela brings a raw honesty to her work that’s hard to ignore. We talk about long-term projects, photographing with intention, and what it means to truly connect with your subjects. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to build a photographic life around trust, patience, and curiosity, look no further.

One of her most notable projects, Glendalis: The Life and World of a Youngest Daughter, documents a decade-long portrait series centered on a young woman growing up in the Lower East Side.

Angela is a highly celebrated New York–based documentary photographer. She's been recognized with prestigious fellowships and has work held in top-tier museum collections worldwide. Her long-term photographic series Glendalis was both critically acclaimed and published as an award-nominated monograph. Additionally, her editorial and commercial work spans a wide range of major brands and media publications.
