Cassius Callender is an award-winning landscape photographer originally from Puerto Rico and now based in Wisconsin. His photographic journey began in 1984, when, at age 14, he took a summer photography class in Old San Juan. After serving 10 years in the U.S. Navy, Cassius returned to photography in 2006, and two years later turned that renewed passion into a professional photography business.

 

From 2008 through 2019, Cassius exhibited his work at numerous juried art shows throughout the Midwest. Although now retired from the art show circuit, his photography continues to be displayed throughout Wisconsin and is held by private, corporate, hospitality, healthcare, and educational clients. His work can be found at organizations and businesses including the University of Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin Hospital, Goldstein Advisors, Capital Endodontics, The Edgewater Hotel, Investors Associated LLP, Stoughton Hospital, Delaney’s, Dental Health Associates, and many others.

 

Cassius is drawn to the natural world at its most dramatic, capturing fleeting moments of light, movement, weather, and atmosphere that reveal landscapes in ways that are often brief and easily missed. Through his photography, he strives to transform those moments into images that convey both the character of a place and the experience of being there.
