(American, 1903-1980) Born in Tokyo to American missionary parents, Eugene Haanel Cassidy was brought up in a deeply spiritual family and used photography as a vehicle to convey his spiritual beliefs. He saw photographs as "symbols that transcended the physical world" and would often photograph objects in series feeling that this method would help interpret the essence of the object being photographed and broaden its contact to the universe. In the mid 1940s Cassidy came to the US and began working for House & Garden, Glamour, and Vogue. He shot mostly interiors and travel features. Cassidy's beliefs come through in many of his images through his use of the common theme of home and family. In the mid 1950s Cassidy gave up photography to further develop his spiritual life. In 1969 he founded Ananda Gardens as part of Ananda The Expanding Light Yoga and Meditation Retreat. He died in 1980.
