Neo Serafimidis is a fine art photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is a member of Bay Area Photographers Collective. His work has been shown in galleries in the Bay Area and elsewhere in the United States. Photographs from his series "The Sheltering Night" were included in "de Young Open," a large group salon exhibition at San Francisco's deYoung Museum. Neo studied art theory with American artist Charles Gaines, and the philosophy of art in the philosophy department at CSU Fresno, earning a B.A. in philosophy. During this time his primary work was electronic/experimental music and performance art. He founded the performance group "Synesthesia Works", which produced a number of recordings, theater scores, performances and installations. These works often included photographic projections in theater and installation works. Neo attended graduate school at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he received a PhD in philosophy. In the mid-2000's he returned to photography in earnest.
