children， Merendino had supportive parents who always encouraged him to pursue his interests.

I first met the photographer in 2021， when he photographed me for Cleveland Magazine. I

recently asked him if he could tell me more about his career. We spoke via video. Merendino has

always been interested in the arts. As the youngest child in a large family， he remembers watching

his siblings pursue their own careers. Merendino later discovered his passion for photography while

working as a drummer in Nashville， Tennessee. A friend who owned a camera suggested he try

photography. “I remember the first photo I took. I was attracted by it，” Merendino recalled.

Merendino is now a freelance photographer who specializes in portraits. He sees photography as

“a great conversation” between two people. His work has appeared in The New York Times and

Scholastic Choices.
