My first experience working with Chris was on campaign my agency was launching which had him shooting daily over three weeks and Chris didn’t break stride once. His focus and energy during the production was consistent. Every day Chris was a sea of calm, commanding his set with ease and professionalism. Chris knew what he wanted from talent and directed them with ease, bringing out behavior and character that was authentic. He’s thorough but shoots quickly, which is a dream come true when saddled with a long shot list. I always look at a body of work for its overall esthetic first, but there are plenty of talented artists out there who’re the right fit for overall look tone and feel. Few are collaborators who can interpret art direction but who are also not afraid to challenge or introduce a different perspective. This is something I really enjoy about Chris’ style and approach to a brief. Over the past few years Chris has become one of the most highly sought after photographers in Canada, shooting campaigns for Nike, Infiniti and Microsoft and he has graced the pages of Rolling Stone and Interview magazine. Yet, Chris is completely devoid of ego, making him very easy to work with. He’s smart, concise and passionate with a style that translates beautifully from the editorial to commercial world.
