Name: Chris Crisman
Location: US (NYC & Philadelphia most often)
Dream subject: Barack Obama, Jack White, Anthony Hopkins, Salvador Dali, or Abraham Lincoln
Dream location: Just visited the Hoh Rain Forest and that was on my list. Maybe Machu Pichu, unlimited access inside the Vatican, or the Oval Office.
If cameras turned to stone, I would probably be: A veterinarian
If I started a magazine, it would be on: What inspires me.
I am inspired by: Works of nature, artful thinkers, LCD Soundsystems, very long productive shoot days, Edward Hopper, Andrew Wyeth,
I am discouraged by: Pessimism, overconfidence, choppy schedules, rain delays.
An editor is most helpful when: 1. They understand and appreciate my work. 2. They are hiring me for me. 3. There is a solid understanding of each others expectations from the shoot.
