Sasha Knittel is a Boston 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 Danforth Museum, Cambridge Arts, Griffin Museum of Photography and solo exhibits at Cambridge Street Gallery, JP Licks and a three person exhibition at Diana Stelin Gallery in Coolidge corner.
She is currently developing a series of collages of her photographs that show maps of climate change in an abstract way.
The purpose of this project is to highlight areas that are being affected by flash droughts and other weather extremes in an attention grabbing art form.
Sasha plans for her art to be a driver to show viewers that there are simple and free ways to help by sharing opportunities/education from local and national non-profits.
The Mystic River Watershed Association (New England based) and the US Water Alliance (National) are both working to protect fresh water and increase access to it as well.
Sasha gave artist talks at The Danforth Museum on Humans and Nature about her Dynamic Water photos and ways to get involved with various topics that guests care about. She will be giving a talk there again in July on the same series.
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 2026-2027 Sasha is continuing this work and will be exploring innovative ways to exhibit her images in large vinyl prints with UV coating, sustainable collages 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 repurposed materials.
