EnglishWhat Is abelardomorell.net?
Updated
abelardomorell.net is the official website of the photographer Abelardo Morell, presenting his photographic work and biography. It is the place to go if you want to see the range of series he has produced — from Camera Obscura and Tent Camera to Flowers for Lisa and Alice in Wonderland — or to read his career background in his own words.
Who the site belongs to
Abelardo Morell was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1948 and immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1962. He received his undergraduate degree from Bowdoin College and his MFA from The Yale University School of Art.
The site describes him as "renowned for using the camera obscura and his own invention of the Tent/Camera," noting that his bodies of work are "defined by the contemporary use of a technology that predates the camera."

How to use it
- To see the work: browse the series list and open the project you are interested in. The titles are descriptive, so you can navigate by subject — camera obscura work, still lifes, literary and film references, or earlier work from 1962–1986.
- To understand the artist: read the full bio for his origins, training, and the technical approach behind the camera obscura and Tent/Camera work.
- To place a series in context: the grouping of projects shows how his practice moves between optical experiments, domestic still life, and responses to other artists and writers.
The site does not list prices, print availability, or contact or representation details in the material available here, so treat it as a portfolio and reference site rather than a place to buy work or make direct inquiries.
