About me.

Hello, my name is Chris and I am a photographer from Central Illinois. My goal is to host a positive, safe, environment that is welcoming and open to creativity while making amazing images along the way. We are meant to explore and create, I would like to create photos that make people think. I built this portfolio separate from my Portrait Portfolio so that I had a separate outlet to post my more creative work. If you would like to work together please reach out and say hello.

My journey with photography began in 2008, I learned to shoot on 35mm film, develop and create final prints in a dark room. Starting with film as a medium allowed me learn and understand the basics of exposure, composition, lighting, and color. As my experience with photography continued I ventured into digital photography and have been experimenting with shooting a variety of genres. I have continued to work with photography as a part time endeavor and have had the opportunity to photograph some amazing people, events and experiences. I look forward to continuing this journey to find my unique style but always remain flexible by challenging myself to shoot a variety of concepts and explore.
