about
Mason Hershenow is a photographer, writer, and professional educator currently based in Cincinnati, Ohio. His work and research focus on how factors like economic and academic access shape one's creative identity and opportunities—especially in the shadow of A.I. and growing corporate consolidation of culture and media.
Hershenow earned his BA in Photography from Sacramento State in 2014 and his MFA in Photography from San José State in 2020. He currently teaches and oversees the photo program at Cincinnati Country Day School—a program where Photo I still happens in the darkroom.
