Born and raised in Brooklyn, Paniccioli began photography in 1973 by covering graffiti art, music, dance and streetwear in the city. Paniccioli shot nearly every rapper, DJ or group of note for much of the 1980s and 1990s.
Being one of the main photographers for magazines such as Word Up! and Rap Masters, Paniccioli accrued an archive of nearly 250,000 photographs, which was later acquired for preservation by Cornell University in 2013. The following year, he was inducted into the Hip-hop Hall of Fame.
