Philip Sager is a fine-art photographer who grew up in the heart of New York City, filled with experiences that only an international city can offer. He now lives across the county in another geographically small but equally urban center: San Francisco. Philip studied photography at MIT, Yale University, and the Apeiron Workshops.

While his artistic work focuses on confronting the complexity of perception and how our brains simplify, absorb, and comprehend information, Philip is directly influenced by his subliminal mind, memory, and metaphors mirroring the fragmented and conflictual nature of emotive experience. It comes naturally for him to combine art and science, given his long academic and professional history of scientific pursuits researching the heart and the mind.

His work is held in private collections and has been on view in multiple galleries. In Spring, 2022 the Griffin Museum of Photography hosted a solo exhibition of Philip’s work, organized by curator Paula Tognarelli.
