Through A Lens Darkly

photos & videos by James Karasyov


The world as we know it, presented as though we do not.

SoHo, NYC

Scenes From a Basement

For most of my photos I make it a point to take the ordinary and recognizable and photograph them in a way that is unexpected and makes them seem alien to the viewer.

Street Photography

Model Photography

I was approached by Depop, a fashion e-commerce app, to shoot an ad for their social media.

Other Projects

Doyle New York

I was hired by the Doyle Gallery to shoot a short commercial for their Hayloft wing in the Bronx. The commercial features the street artist CRASH painting a mural on the face of their building.

Film Credits

In my free time, my friends and I make short films. I edit the opening credits for them on Motion or Adobe Premiere.
