Christopher Kilkus
Originally from San Francisco, Christopher Kilkus discovered his love of fashion and photography early through the influence of a successful fashion model — his mom. After careers in bicycle racing and model management, he spent two years working across Asia and seven years in New York City, building a reputation for excellent work and a great attitude.
Today he splits his time between New York City, Miami and Los Angeles, shooting for designers, magazines and global brands.
Fashion, advertising and celebrity photography
Christopher (Chris) Kilkus is a fashion, lifestyle, advertising, celebrity and travel photographer and director. Over a career of more than fifteen years he has built a body of work that moves easily between high-fashion editorial, commercial campaigns and portraiture, shooting for designers, magazines and global brands including BCBG Max Azria, Hervé Léger, Forever 21, Macy's, GAP and Skechers, with editorial published in Vogue, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan.
A photographer and director between three cities
Based between New York, Miami and Los Angeles and available worldwide, Chris works as both photographer and director, bringing motion and stills together for brands that need a complete campaign. His fashion background informs everything — the casting, the styling, the light — whether the assignment is an advertising campaign, a celebrity portrait or a travel story.
Recognised work
His photography has drawn comparison to some of the most influential names in the medium. As PRWeb noted, Chris "has been compared to other well-known fashion and celebrity photographers like Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Robert Mapplethorpe and Man Ray" — a reflection of a style built on classic technique and a distinctly modern, emotive eye.
