Santelli also has an extensive career in photography and mixed media art. He is most known for his series The Cannon Ball; he is quoted as saying:
“The Cannon Ball series evolved out of photos I took to explore the nature of confinement, both physical and psychological. I used large pieces of plexiglass to contain my subjects underwater. While this process resulted in some beautiful images of the human form, I was surprised to discover an even more powerful sense of beauty resulting from the model's process of coming to grips with their loss of control. And just as the models lost control of their bodies, their facial expressions, their pose, I lost control of the standard items in the photographer's toolbox - lights, crews, verbal direction, repetition of shots, or even the benefit of real underwater camera housing, which was too bulky and cumbersome for use in this series. The real beauty of the Cannonball series comes from the fact that the models aren't floating or at peace at all. Rather, they are hurling their bodies through the water as is seen in their skin, muscles, and faces and in the bubbles created as their bodies pierce the water. What I found during that process was the freedom that comes from capturing what cannot be manipulated. In the end I had to accept the unpredictability that comes with two people plunging into the unknown."[2]
