about

Cary Schatz

A former SAIT graduate, I started out doing street photography in 2015. This idea of capturing candid moments in life is what drew me into photography and now is prevalent all my work. In 2024, look for my current exhibit “Chopped Liver - Portraits” appearing at cSPACE in Calgary for the month of Febuary.

“The photograph should be more interesting or more beautiful than what was photographed.”
— Garry Winogrand
