About Chris

Balance is the most important aspect of my work. Whether in the mystery of the abstract or the frankness and drama of portrait and nature photography, I am always in search of the frame that captures the moment at its most telling and expressive instant.

Sometimes it's the subject's interaction with the camera or surroundings; at other times it is knowing when the "opportune moment" arises. Either way, I look for that split second and try to present it as a harmonious whole. The photograph represents an idea I want to communicate as well as sparking the viewer's own creative conclusion. I begin the story and then the viewer finishes it.

I have been lucky enough to work with some very talented people–both famous and unknown–and without their insights and creative collaborations, none of my images would have been realized in such balance.
