Chris has extensive experience as a Director of Photography and a Lighting - Cameraman in many subject areas including education, industry, technology and natural history.

His keen interest in animal behaviour netted him a challenging assignment photographing an hour-long documentary on insect physiology and behaviour.  Henry Fonda narrated the resulting film entitled, Insects ~ Secrets Of An Alien World.  The film won dozens of worldwide awards including the Audubon Society First Place Award for Conservation and Ecology.  His efforts won prestigious awards as bestowed by the Cannes Film Festival, the Trieste Film Festival, the Czechoslovakian Film Festival, the Hungarian Film Festival and the American Film Festival.  The BBC televised the film in Britain and subsequently called upon him to photograph portions of The Living Planet, a television series hosted by David Attenborough, and other natural history programmes.

After earning his Master of Arts in filmmaking from the Royal College of Art in London, and diploma in Art & Design(first class honours) in graphic design from the Hornsey College of Art, also in London, Chris was invited to the USA to teach filmmaking as a visiting professor at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design.  He remained there for three years teaching classes in film production. Since then he has been living in the San Francisco Bay Area.
