Mark Cassino

 

5047 West Main #393

 

Kalamazoo, MI  49009-1001

Mark Cassino is a fine art and natural history photographer based out of Kalamazoo, Michigan. His work runs the gamut from micro-photographs of individual snow crystals, to close ups of butterflies and birds, to landscapes depicting Michigan’s unique terrain.

 

 

 

Cassino uses a variety of techniques to create his unique images. He works with the latest digital technology, but also utilizes medium format film cameras and toy, junk, and antique devices. His creative techniques include extreme close up photography, digital and film based infrared photography, alternative B&W processing techniques, and digital enhancement.

 

 

 

Working from both a scientific and artistic perspective, Cassino’s works have been exhibited in a diverse variety of venues.

 

 

 

His scientific photos have been displayed in the gallery of the National Botanical Gardens in Washington, D.C., on several covers of American Entomologist, Science World, and in numerous textbooks, calendars, and trade publications. His work has appeared on many science oriented websites, including those of the US Department of Agriculture’s Systemic Entomology Laboratory, NASA, and the popular radio series “Earth and Sky.”

 

 

 

His fine art work has appeared in national and regional juried art shows, including  American Landscapes: 2006, a national juried show sponsored by the Maryland Federation of Art, in which he received an Honorable Mention. His work has also appeared in the 4th North American Landscape Exhibit, sponsored by the Maryland Federation of Art; The “Rural Outdoors” and Selected Works from the Rural Outdoors exhibits in New York State, the 2003, 2004, and 2005 West Michigan Area Show, sponsored by the Kalamazoo Institute of Art,  the 2005 All Michigan / All Media exhibit, sponsored by Ferris State University’s Rankin Art Gallery. In 2004, one of Cassino’s pieces won ‘Best Photograph” award in the Indiana Wildlife Artists National Juried Show, and in 2002 his work was awarded First Place designations in both the lighthouse and open categories of the Harbor Lights International Photography Contest.  His work was also accepted into the 2006 Krappy Kamera Contest, a national exhibit of photos taken with toy cameras, hosted by the Soho Photo Gallery in New York City. Two of his photos were recently accepted into the 2008 Macroworld competition, hosted by the Center for Fine Art Photography in Denver, Colorado. One of his pieces was also accepted into the 2008 Street Photography competition, also hosted by the Center For Fine Art Photography.
