Christopher Lectures At UNC Chapel Hill

Christopher was recently a guest lecturer at the School of Journalism at the University of North Carolina/Chapel Hill. Invited by Adjunct Professor of Advertising, Mike Allen, to talk about his 20-odd years of experience as both a creative and a photographer in the advertising world, Christopher gladly accepted and hopes  the students enjoyed the class as much as he did.

Shoot At Angkor Wat

During an assignment for Ritz-Carlton in Vietnam, Christopher had the extraordinary opportunity to travel to Cambodia to photograph the ancient temple city  of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. A World Heritage Site, these magnificent 12th century ruins  are like no other place in the world,  and so vast and overwhelming in scope they are impossible to describe let alone photograph - although Christopher tried his best. He loved every suffocatingly humid second of it.
