CHRIS STEPHENSON
Chris Stephenson has photographed global figures in the political, entertainment, sports and corporate domains such as Michelle Obama, Prince Harry, Morgan Freeman, and Bryce Harper. While his work is well-documented at shooting an event being viewed by millions of people, he brings just as much passion to photographing personal stories. A former litigation attorney advocating for legal reform, Chris took flight from law and followed his passion of capturing emotion and energy through photographs.
Chris began professional photography by filming documentaries for fun in 2007 while he ran his legal practice. In 2012, a New York film producer and friend recruited him to be the Director of Photography for a feature-length independent film, The Piano: An Odyssey. The film won Best Picture at the Burbank Film Festival.
Whether photographing the First Lady or a small corporate party, emotion and energy remain the central theme of Chris’s work. Photography is the only art form that freezes a moment of time, usually a tiny fraction of a second. For Chris, the goal of a photograph is to isolate the emotional or energetic apex within an interaction. That interaction is usually, although not always, displayed externally between two or more persons, although Chris is fascinated by capturing these moments within a solitary subject as well.
