Author Archives: Shevry Lassiter

Who am I? I’m Shevry, the photo editor, a photographer and now producer of the Washington Informer’s digital broadcast program. Photography has been my passion since I was a teenager capturing neighborhood photos. While a patent legal assistant for almost 20 years, I took a leap and switched careers. I began formal photography training in a popular photography program in DC. In 2002 Sure Shot Photography was trademarked. I received the best photo gig ever when I was one of the official photographers on the Fantastic Voyage. In 2010 I joined the Washington Informer and received my first photo assignment in 2011. In 2012 I received a call from the White House when a delegation from several African countries were meeting with then President Barack Obama. I was one of only five photographers and the only African American and female standing two arms lengths across a conference table from the President, one of the best highlights of my life as a photojournalist. After working closely with the photo editor selecting photos for use in news stories, I was asked to step in when he decided to retire. I enjoy working with photographers who are passionate about their craft and love to bring on skilled photographers interested in photojournalism.

Shevry Lassiter photo by Shevry Lassiter September 11, 2024September 11, 2024

D.C. residents are urging for action to address the trash crisis, as living in a cluttered and dirty environment can have negative effects on mental health, and proper waste management is essential to protect both the environment and residents’ mental health.
