Cassian Gray is a photographer based in London.
His work is a study of people and human nature, often exploring how we inhabit space and our effect on the landscape. Throughout his practice, Cassian uses the camera as a tool to instigate encounters - documenting individuals, places and communities that would otherwise pass unnoticed.
Cassian graduated from Kingston School of Art in May 2021 with a First Class Honours. He has since been working freelance for Nadav Kander in his studio, scanning selected negatives to create a digital archive, while helping organise prints, build gallery mock ups and help out on shoots. Cassian has also been working at Big Sky Studios as a Lighting Operations Assistant. He has recently been assisting photographers on set for clients such as Netflix, Burberry, Entertainment Weekly and MiuMiu, while developing his photographic portfolio and commercial network.
He holds a BA in Photography and has had work featured on platforms such as the British Journal of Photography, The Telegraph, Creative Review, Notion and It's Nice That.
