Gallery 1 — SAM KASSIRER

This gallery provides detail on the collection of photographs currently on display at Club Passim in Cambridge MA. I find an infinite amount of parallels between taking portraits and producing music, but most importantly, both are an attempt to uncover some honest and unique representation, with a clear point of view. 

If a QR code brought you here, thanks for visiting. I shot all of these images on 120mm or 35mm film. They were printed by Ross Kiah at Palm Press in Medford, MA and are available for purchase in a number of sizes and formats. Contact me through this website if you're interested.
