RE Casper -- Photographer | Designer | Podcaster

Born in southern Illinois, Casper left the rural river-lands of the Midwest to work in a multitude of artistic industries throughout Chicago and the Bay Area. With a background in graphic design, illustration, journalism, photography, cartography, and podcasting, his journey focuses on the pursuit of learning new methods of expression.

Currently focused on documentary and street photography, Casper captures the candid reality of humanity in an effort to shine a light on the forgotten challenges of American industry. His work has been featured in numerous publications including Chicago Theater Beat, San Francisco Magazine, WeStreet, PlusOne, Boonville Daily News, Berkeleyside and more.

Beyond creation, Casper works to share artistic knowledge by hosting numerous photowalks and workshops in San Francisco and produces the photography podcast, StreetPX, a conversational show, centered on the personal stories of street photographers, documentary photographers, and photojournalists from around the world.

Check out the show on StreetPX, iTunes, Google Play Music, or your favorite pod-catcher of choice.
