About Me Growing up in small town Madison, Georgia played a significant role in influencing my documentary photographic style. Surrounded by history and ornate architecture, I began my photographic journey with a series that will forever define me as an artist…documenting the decay and ultimate deterioration of old, abandoned houses around the state of Georgia. Once filled with so much life and love, these structures were left alone to face their inevitable demise. However, I see nothing but beauty and a story waiting to be told in the decay and I attempt to capture the subjects in such a way that expresses the personal connection that I feel with each subject matter. My photographs draw a parallel between the conditions of the subject matter and the progression of life from birth to death. These photographs stir cherished memories from my childhood of spending time with loved ones. And since time diminishes memory and the substantial aspects of reality, I will continue to document what remains of my memories, feelings of loss, family, and deterioration. Also trained as a ceramic artist, I love to throw functional pottery on the wheel and occasionally I like to turn that functional bowl or platter into artwork by transferring my photographs onto the pottery. All of Cassie’s fine art photography is taken with her Toyo 4x5 film camera, developed and enlarged to silver gelatin prints in the darkroom. Cassie uses her Canon 7D camera for all of her lifestyle photography. |
