Hi, I'm Christopher.
My life has been a journey of seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Time and again, I've found myself in incredible places and situations. This hasn't been because I've been searching for something out of the ordinary, but because I've developed a special way of looking at the world. I've trained myself to spot the magic in everyday moments, turning the usual into the unforgettable. This skill is my strength as a documenter – the ability to uncover and showcase the remarkable hidden within the mundane.
I believe in the power of making a difference, and it all starts with us.
Each of us has the amazing ability to touch the lives of people around us and even make a change in the world. It's not about doing big, flashy things; it's about the small changes we make in ourselves and the lessons we learn every day.
When we get better at something, learn something new, or overcome a challenge, it's not just good for us – it can help others too. Sharing our stories, the tough times we've faced, and the cool things we've learned can really inspire and help people.
Being good at noticing and sharing the important moments in our lives can do more than just keep memories;
it can actually make a big impact on others.
Our experiences and what we learn from them can encourage, teach, and guide the people around us. This way, telling our stories isn't just about us. It's a way to connect with others and help them grow too.
My journey into the art of documenting began unexpectedly at 16 with my first camera.
It was more than a hobby; it was a new lens through which to view the world. This camera opened my eyes to the possibility of turning ordinary moments into remarkable stories. It was a realization that would shape my entire approach to documenting life.
1997: The Beginning with My First Camera
"My adventure in photography started at 16 when I got my first camera. This year marked the start of a lifelong passion for capturing life's moments, setting me on a path to where I am today."
Earning My Bachelor of Fine Arts in Commercial Photography
Driven by my passion, I pursued and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts, specializing in Commercial Photography. This period was crucial for honing my skills and deepening my understanding of this art form.
Chief Photographer at BYU Museum of Art
My career took an exciting turn as I became the Chief Photographer at BYU Museum of Art. Here, I had the unique opportunity to document important collections and events, and my work included photographing art for the publication 'Beholding Salvation' – a project that highlighted the significance of visual storytelling.
The White House Interview
"A pivotal moment in my career was interviewing for a position on the Presidential Administration's photography team at the White House. This experience emphasized the importance of documenting history and the power of photography to capture defining moments of our time."
I believe that every moment holds a story worth telling.
In the ordinary flow of our daily lives, there are extraordinary tales waiting to be uncovered and shared. I believe that documenting these moments is not just about preserving memories;
it's about capturing the essence of our human experience.
It's my conviction that through the lens of a camera, a simple photograph, or a brief note, we can connect deeply with others and ourselves. I believe in the power of these stories to inspire, to teach, and to bring us closer together, creating a tapestry of shared human experiences that enriches us all.
