ERIC CASSEE's WEBSITE

I am a Photographer.
I was born in Virginia.
This is not the same as West Virginia.
Since then I have lived in 7 apartments and 7 houses in 4 state...s and 4 countries.
For a time I lived in an apartment in a not so friendly part of Paris that was so small I could flush the toilet while sitting on the bed and cooking in the kitchen.
It was one of the best experiences of my life.
Once I crashed a car into a 400 foot deep ravine in Umbria, Italy.
The car was a rental. It was also a Fiat.
I have a 95 pound purebred Akita named Reika. She does not like vacuum cleaners, silver cars, or cats.
I think everyone should work in the service or hospitality industry for at least 3 years, I worked in a four star french restaurant where the chef threw potato's at me.
I got my start in photography by working for multiple small town newspapers on the east coast. From there I studied landscape photography in Italy, but learned I prefer people. I was granted an internship at Daylight Studios, Paris; which led me to study fashion and commercial photography under multiple mentors.
The most valuable things in my life are my relationships with other people.
I play the piano, the guitar, I love to write, I am a slave to all things Italian, and I am a loyal fan of red wine.
Color, beauty, passion, and drama inspire me. These are things that I incorporate into my work.

I have been privileged to be chosen for the AltPick Editors Choice, Best of Phoenix 2011.
In 2008 I won first prize in the UnScene Photography Tour in Phoenix, Arizona.
I was honored to be a contributor to Flashes of Hope, a national non-profit organization that provides photo albums for the families of terminally ill children.

I am in the process of developing a video portfolio. It is one of my dreams to create and direct short films and music videos.
Currently I work in Arizona, California, Texas, and Washington DC. But I love to travel.
