My name is Chris, and I'm a photographer in the Metro Detroit area. I focus on sports and music photography, but I'll delve into just about anything I can point my camera at. I shoot for DetroitCity, Xtreme Cagefighting Championships by LiveMMAFights.com, and The South End News. Lately I've been working a lot with Metro Recording Studio as well.
I'm not much for posing anyone, although I have been working on it. I'd rather capture the raw, pure form of whatever it is I'm shooting. This goes specifically for music. One of the greatest things in the world is hearing the shutter release and knowing I got the shot I wanted.
I've had images published with Real Detroit Weekly, Six Degrees Magazine, The Record: Detroit's Music Journal, PictureThisDetroit.com, and The South End News. I've also had a number of my shots used by bands on their websites, fan sites, and myspace pages.

| Finding My Niche |
| I discovered my passion for photography much as a byproduct of my love for music. Somewhere along the line of the countless concerts I attended, I started bringing a little 3MP digital camera. I loved being able to capture the intensity of a live performance. I eventually upgraded to a digital SLR, and have amassed the right equipment to shoot concerts the right way. If I can get my camera into a venue, it's always with me. For those who don't know, metro Detroit is saturated with a talent, which goes beyond just music. There are a lot of great photographers here, and I'm working to establish myself as one of the best for concert photography.Along with music, I cover a lot of sports and athletic competitions. I've shot quite a few different events. Football, basketball, soccer, rugby, lacrosse, and most recently MMA to name a few. This is my favorite thing to shoot, second only to concert photography.
As I mentioned, posing wasn't ever my strong point. I'd eventually like to expand into portraiture, since there's basically a full photo studio in my basement. I own some of my own studio lighting, so I'm just about set to bring my gear out on location for things. |
