Michael Massaia is a fine art photographer and printmaker who has spent the past 10 years documenting areas and objects that never extend too far from his front door. Isolation, disconnection and an attempt to put a spotlight on the ordinary are the constants in all of his work. Massaia focuses primarily on large format black-and-white film, utilizing a variety of highly modified proprietary analog and digital printing techniques. Massaia works alone and is the sole craftsman from the instant the negative is exposed to the moment the final print is made.

Funtown Pier, Seaside Park
By Michael Massaia
Located in Westwood, NJ
This stunning 20"x 24" toned silver gelatin contact print is one of two final, late 2012 images that complete the Michael Massaia portfolio taken along the New Jersey Shore and presciently called "Afterlife". Beginning in 2008, the artist meticulously documented the amusement park rides along the gritty boardwalks of Seaside Heights seen by millions, but ultimately not really seen. Employing large format view cameras and film, Michael photographed in the early morning hours to depict these normally bustling areas completely devoid of humanity. As a native post Hurricane Sandy, he was able to revisit the amusement piers laid to waste by the storm to witness the devastation of all that he had previously photographed. The Funtown Pier was taken in November 2012 and is the last of two post storm photographs...
