Chris Graves
"Environment is essential"
Chris Graves is a photographer born and based in Denver, Colorado, USA. He took his first photos at the age of 11, using a camera he made out of a Quaker Oats box. During the intervening years he has moved away from the oats box. He has been published in several magazines and newspapers as a freelance photojournalist, has worked as a cinematographer on several commercials and feature films. In 1993 he won a Student Academy Award for his work on the animated short “American History” - These just to name a few of his achievements. He currently works “part part-time” at the Internet company he founded in 1997.
The rest of the time he pursues the perfect cup of coffee as well as the perfect model. Holding a disinterest for the typical Playboy type girl, Chris prefers instead to photograph the girl next door - one who preferably has never modeled before. The best models are ones who have no idea how interesting and beautiful they are. My favorite thing is to show a first-time model the final photos and they can't stop looking at them.
Having the luxury to pursue photography solely for art, Chris shoots only a handful of women a year. “Environment is essential.” Graves will spend weeks preparing for a shoot by finding the perfect space. Not one for the studio, he opts instead for the atmosphere of existing locations.
