Sasha Knittel is a Burlington MA based creative photographer.
She grew up in the Hudson Valley NY area. Being in nature as a child, and currently in New England inspires her drive to photograph the natural world.
Sasha studied photography at SUNY Ulster and has continued her education through professional development courses at The Griffin Museum of Photography.
She has been in group exhibits at The Kingston Gallery, Danforth Museum, Cambridge Arts, Micro Gallery Burlington, Griffin Museum of Photography and solo exhibits at Cambridge Street Gallery in Burlington MA.
She is currently completing a series photographing The Mystic River Watershed titled Dynamic Water. She uses a macro lens, fast shutter speed and flash to create abstract photos of water.
One of the focuses for Dynamic Water is for the photos to be a motivator for education. Sasha loves to share information on simple ways to help keep the Mystic River Watershed healthy by using facts from the Mystic River Watershed Association.
Sasha gave artist talks at The Danforth Museum on Humans and Nature about this series and ways to get involved with various topics that guests care about.
She is also a recipient of an honorable mention from Cambridge Arts for her Horn Pond image and was selected by MRWA for the Capture the Mystic photo competition.
Sasha was publicly honored at Mass Brigham Health at Assembly Row at the MRWA annual meeting for her photo, which was displayed at the meeting as well.
In 2025-2026 Sasha is continuing this work and will be exploring innovative ways to exhibit her images in large format prints, transparent prints that are backlight, and video installations.
A core value while developing this work is to create it with as little environmental impact as possible by using sustainable printing methods and lighting that is energy efficient.
