I'm Cass
EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHER, MUSICIAN AND ILLUSTRATOR
I do everything with genuine care and sincerity.
I got into photography in 2004 because life is dreamy and I was searching for meaning. These days I find meaning in creativity, growth and safe + inclusive community. You can often find me scheming, advocating and otherwise engaging in DIY activism and care. As an artist, that means representing and holding space for all marginalized people, and working toward our shared, empowered future.
With over 15 years spent developing my practice, I offer a creative experience rooted in quiet confidence, sensitivity and play to make extraordinary images with you. Getting your photo taken may not feel natural at first, but I keep the energy dynamic and easy, giving direction when you need it.
You can do it like its a great weight on you, or you can do it like it’s part of the dance
—Ram Dass
MY AESTHETIC HAS A SOUND
From recording alone in my childhood bedroom to performing live with friends, music has always been part of my practice. Ask me about playlists, I have tons to share.
DRAW FEELINGS
I use markers, paints, pencils, make comic books and sometimes even tattoo my own skin. My drawings are mostly about emotions, mental health and my life.
