Christopher Wi

San Francisco

Canon EOS-1D Mark II; Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

After decades working as a Marketer and Strategist for design firms, tech companies and providing countless hours of consulting, I have learned a thing or two about how to tell a story. So often photographers and digital artists focus solely on making beautiful images that don't fit the narrative. Like great design, the photograph should seamlessly marry form and function, beauty and story. I have brought this philosophy to my career in photography for the last 10 years. I live in downtown San Francisco. I surf. I snowboard and I love to travel.
