Casha was the driving force behind the MIPP’s establishment of Qualifications for Maltese Photographers. These qualifications were introduced in 2001 and were formulated on the same lines as those in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, under his guidance, the foremost photographic association in the UK, the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers, later recognized the standards of the Maltese qualifications and agreed to give reciprocal qualifications.

In 2006, the Maltese Government appointed him Technical Coordinator of a new major project aimed at establishing a National Picture Archive on the island. Casha himself has single-handedly worked so that this Archive safeguarding historical Maltese photography became a reality. The Archive, housed at the National Archives of Malta is presently working on digitizing and cataloguing old Maltese photographs and will soon be making these available on line for researchers and the general public.

In 2004 he was also awarded the MIPP Award of Recognition for outstanding services rendered to local photography. Casha’s work for Maltese photography also makes him the only photographer to have been awarded Honorary Life Membership of both the MIPP as well as the MPS. Between the years of 1994 and 1996, he was elected President of the MPS and from 1996 and 2006 he was President of the MIPP. Again, he is the only person to have served terms as President of the two main and only photographic organizations in Malta.

In 2003, Casha was instrumental in bringing over to Malta the first International Congress of the Federation of European Professional Photographers.

In 2001 he won Fashion Photographer section of the Malta Fashion Awards.

Since establishing himself on the local photographic scene, Casha has always crusaded to increase the standards and recognition of Maltese photographers. In 1990 he coordinated the first ‘Malta Photography Yearbook’ a book aimed at showcasing the best Maltese photographers can offer. He has also provided his photographs on books such as “The Knights of St John in Malta”, “Malta-Its Archaeology and History”, “Maltese Food and Wine”, “Reflections on Life”, “Wines of Malta” and “Malta”.

Finding that photography suited his lifestyle better, Casha started learning photography and attending the MPS in 1982. From then onwards, he never looked back and managed to succeed in leaving his previous governmental job and going into full-time photography in 1988.

Casha started his forays in the world of art when as a young boy he used to paint and draw. He was educated at the Malta Lyceum where he gained his Advanced level in Art at the age of 15. He later continued to study art under two renowned Maltese artists (now both deceased), namely Esprit Barthet and Antoine Camilleri at the Malta Polytechnic (between 1974 and 1977).

Kevin Casha (born January 1958) is a Maltese photographer. He is four times the Malta Photographic Society’s (MPS) Photographer of the Year (1986, 1991, 1993, 1994). He is also the Malta Institute of Professional Photography’s (MIPP) first Photographer of the Year in 2004.
