Born in Puerto
Rico, Cassius J. Callender has been interested in photography since
1984 when he took a summer class at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas
de Puerto Rico in Old San Juan at the age of 14. During the
same period, Cassius attended 8th and 9th grades at the Escuela
Central de Artes Visuales in Santurce, Puerto Rico, where he studied
various forms of art including drawing, painting, and sculpture. After completing
high school and serving for 10 years in the U.S. Navy, he moved to
the Washington DC area to continue his career in computer security.
It wasn't until 2006, when he received his first DSLR camera as a
Father’s Day present from his wife Amy, that his passion for
photography was truly ignited. Two years later Cassius J. Callender
Photography was launched.
Now located in Oregon, WI,
Cassius’ work primarily focuses on capturing landscape scenes during the most
colorful times of the day, dawn and dusk. This is when the effect of the
changing light with the combination of clouds and water can produce scenes of
unimaginable beauty. He also enjoys photographing the "wildlife" that can
be found on our local gardens. His works have been exhibited in several locations in
Dane County.
