About
Chris is an award-winning photographer and director based between Los Angeles and Berlin. Shaped by a lifelong obsession with mood and aesthetics, he has been working in the industry since adolescence, developing an instinctive and highly refined command of light, composition, and atmosphere.
His work is driven by a pursuit of authenticity — capturing people and subjects in their most honest, unfiltered state, while elevating them into something cinematic and iconic. With a distinctive visual language that feels both timeless and contemporary, Chris creates images that resonate emotionally and linger beyond the frame.
He has built a strong reputation collaborating with some of the world’s leading brands on global campaigns, recognized for a style that is raw yet precise, intimate yet epic.
He is a full member of the AOP – Association of Photographers in the UK, BFF Professional member in the honorable BFF Berufsverband Freie Fotografen und Filmgestalter in Germany and mentor at the BFF Scholarship Award.
