Vanelli’s poetry is written for anyone searching for meaning in the everyday. In collections like I Heard You, I Vow, and Letters to Erika, he blends personal stories with universal themes, offering words that carry both tenderness and strength. His poems are less about instruction and more about presence, meeting the reader where they are and pointing gently toward what endures.
Beyond poetry, Vanelli is also a photographer, educator, and martial artist. He serves as the Director of Education for Skylum, the company behind Luminar Neo, where he has taught thousands of photographers worldwide through classes, workshops, and published guides. He carries the discipline of his Triple Crown in martial arts into every part of his work, combining focus with compassion. Whether in writing, photography, or teaching, Vanelli’s goal is the same: to help others pause, reflect, and connect more deeply with life.
