ABOUT ME
Chris is a Chicago-based dynamic sports and aerial photographer. His passion for art and photography came at a young age eventually evolving into a professional photography career. His distinctive style utilizes natural light and subject isolation against expansive backgrounds, drawing viewers' attention to essential elements while highlighting textures and vibrant colors. Each composition reveals his meticulous eye for detail, transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary visual narratives.
Following a transformative first visit to Iceland in 2016, Chris developed a profound connection with the country's distinctive terrain, which became the foundation of his landscape and aerial photography portfolio. This deep appreciation has inspired annual pilgrimages to Iceland and launched his pursuit of aerial photography, where he captures breathtaking landscapes from the unique perspectives of Cessna airplanes and helicopters.
As an avid cyclist, Chris naturally integrated cycling photography into his professional work, forming partnerships with leading industry brands and within the Chicago cycling community.
Featured as one of Wildist's "7 Adventure Photographers You Should Know", Chris captures destinations with spectacular scenery from land and air. Chris was also featured in Framebridge’s Black Artist Print Shop, supporting the work and hearing stories of black owned businesses.
