A restless curiosity about perfection and beauty in a single breath in time.”

Cristopher’s career began with hands-on training in Milan, working under several well-known fashion photographers. While in Italy, he studied fashion and fine art. Recently, Cristopher returned to Florence for an intensive post-baccalaureate fashion photography program at Adff/CLICK UP. An apprenticeship with National Geographic’s television department was the precursor to Cristopher’s extensive travel portfolio. His journeys throughout the world have resulted in a prolific pictorial coverage of all seven continents and over 100 countries.
While regularly participating in solo and group exhibitions worldwide, Cristopher’s work has been featured at the annual Venice Art Walk, LA Art Mart, and has appeared at the Center for the Study of Popular Culture. His work can be seen on the walls of the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Ana, CA, the Odyssey Theater and many other private collections. Some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities and most elite collect his fine art photography.
Other experience includes numerous advertisements for American Oceans Campaign (an environmental rights organization headed by Ted Danson), assignments and covers for SeaRay Living, and several projects for Team Earthwork, a non-profit environmental division of John Paul Mitchell.
