BIO
At age 10, Ted Casey’s first professional “job” was photographing a minor car accident a block from his apartment in New York City and negotiating to sell the images to State Farm Insurance for $1.00 each. In 1986, during a summer in Antigua helping with improvements to the village of Barnes Hill with Operation Crossroads Africa, Ted photographed the Barnes Hill children when not painting houses or repairing the village reservoir. Those photographs won multiple awards in juried art competitions.
A few years later, while studying under the documentary photographer Alex Harris at Duke University’s Center for Documentary Studies, Ted completed the documentary photography project Barber Shops of Durham County in Durham, North Carolina.
In the early 1990‘s, Ted established a photography studio in New York City for fashion and documentary photography and assisted the photographers Bruce Weber and Kurt Markus, before moving to California and co-founding the panoramic photography technology project QuickTime VR within Apple Inc.’s Advanced Technology Group.
Digital media has remained at the center of Ted’s professional career and he manages a consulting firm, Casey Digital Media LLC.
Ted expanded the early work he had completed with children in Antigua with the portfolio In Their Landscape and has developed two portfolios centered on landscapes he is fond of, the seashore
environment and rural areas of America, titled Where Ocean Meets Land, and West of Town respectively.
His work has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions and multiple publications. Ted lives in New York City with his wife and three children.
