No Invite is a series focused on capturing Fashion Week by any means necessary. With a lifelong interest in fashion, and no connection to the industry, I set out to shoot the beauty and chaos the only way I knew how. Sneaking into parties, subverting security, and hitting the streets. Shot entirely on 35mm compact cameras, No Invite is a unique look into the fashion world, even when your name isn’t on the guest list.
Dan Bassini is a photographer based in Jersey City, NJ specializing in digital and analog photography.
He has released thirteen books within the "No Invite" series, as well as four non-portraiture books: Highway Hypnosis, Cruel Summer, I STILL FEEL IT, and most recently When I Kill God I Will Find The Spigot From Which He Meters Out Grace And Smash It Permanently Open.
His work has been featured in many solo and group shows in the New York City area.
Recently, Bassini’s work has been featured in Vogue Türkiye and on CNN.
