Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Not many photographers posses the credentials to work in hazardous environments, or have the gear to work safely in some of these locations. My work illustrates the art and craftsmanship of the structures, buildings, and machines that make up critical infrastructure - the things we rely upon every day - power, shelter... I'm a technologist - I like the multitude of creative controls in photography, with lighting, with composition - all come together at some point. I like being on the team involved in the creation or support of the almost-built environments. It's not all I do though - I spend a bit of time with many different types of clients - everything from music/event photography (on the SXSW Photo Crew) to portraits to food. I enjoy a bit of variety and offer a unique perspective to these shoots.

We asked Cris to take photographs of our historical church in downtown Austin for our website, which we are in the process of revamping. We thought - we have this jewel of a sanctuary and we need to show it off. Who better to get than our good friend Cris - who happens to be an award-winning photographer - and who happened to love the architecture of the church when he'd seen it a year before and had offered to take photos. We gave him carte blanche - inside and outside - knowing that his keen eye and natural instinct for artistic shots would guide him. Well - he did not disappoint. The photos are amazing! He delivered so many gorgeous photos - we are having a hard time narrowing them down for the website. He captured the history of this structure - built in 1929 - with both Italian and Mexican architectural influences - it feels like you are, in fact, in Europe, when you view the slide show, shot after shot of the marble pillars, wooden beamed ceiling and red tile roof. His photos tell the story of a beautiful old relic of a church built during the depression - well-used and well -loved by its members over the years. They show the care that went into her construction and design details, including hand-etched engravings at the end of each pew, and beautiful tile trim around the windows outside, and rows of carved figure heads. They show the beautiful shadow cast on her, by the elements and time, in the dark crevices of the brick exterior and stains under the eaves. In sum, Cris captured the essence and soul of our little church. Her name is Central Christian Church (come visit!).

My civil engineering firm recently engaged Cris to take photos of a large construction site in downtown Austin, TX. During the two-day shoot, Cris was prepared, professional, prompt, and an overall joy to work with. Within a few days, Cris had done his editing magic and provided many jaw-dropping photos. He manages to find and capture beauty where most other could not. His photos demonstrate a beautiful, striking juxtaposition of angular, engineered structures within natural elements and landscapes. Cris' creative eye and technical prowess make him a master of his craft. When we need more photos, Cris will be the man we call.

Cris is the consummate professional and has a real talent and eye for photography. He has contributed high-quality and artistic photos that have been published in a number of marketing materials and offshore trade journal articles that my media team managed. I am honored to recommend Cris and his work!

Chris is creative and a pleasure to work with. We've used his photos in publications for our business and will look to him in the future when opportunities arise.
