Chris is known for his classical black-and-white photographs of the female nude blended with flora, fauna, and man-made elements with textures, tonal contrasts, shapes, forms and lighting. His images tell stories, awake feelings and manage to share with the audience the emotions experienced while capturing the image.
He has received numerous awards and recognition for his creative vision and execution.
