Humans contain multitudes. And to pivot is to be human.

I’m Emon Hassan, a multidisciplinary storyteller based in New York City. For the past 14 years, I’ve worked primarily as a photojournalist, contributing to The New York Times since 2011, with my photographs, films, and audio stories published worldwide.

But my creative life has always stretched beyond a single track. I’ve been a guitar teacher, musician, interpreter, and producer/director of radio plays and short films. Those roles still shape how I approach storytelling today. To confine my output to a single category would be an insult to the polymath within me.

In 2024, I expanded my creative terrain through my production and publishing company, Handsome Crow, home to my monthly photo zine series emonome, my debut book of photography and poetry I Dream of the Heights, and a growing collection of limited-edition photographic prints.

I also publish sound and music works under the name Guitarkadia, my band of one.
