A year later he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. He now publishes his photos exclusively to raise awareness for ALS and other disabilities."

His work has appeared in Nature Photographer Magazine, Sandlapper, Clemson World and other magazines, and it has been exhibited at the National Press Club and the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum. Sciulli has images on display in his traveling exhibit “Challenging Nature Photography,” and his book by the same title narrates his travel experiences and the challenges faced.
