Advertising Photography

Commercial and campaign photography

Christopher Kilkus is an advertising photographer creating commercial and campaign imagery for fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands. Every advertising shoot is built around a single goal — to sell a product and tell a brand's story in one frame — pairing the polish of a fashion editorial with the clarity a campaign needs to work across billboards, packaging, social and print.

Brands and clients

Over a career spanning New York, Miami and Los Angeles, Chris has shot advertising and commercial campaigns for brands including BCBG Max Azria, Hervé Léger, Forever 21, bebe, Macy's, GAP, Banana Republic, Jockey, Skechers and Billabong, with editorial features in Vogue, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan. That range — from high-fashion houses to mass-market retail — means each campaign is shot with an understanding of the exact audience it needs to reach.

A fashion eye for commercial work

His advertising work carries the same instinct for light, movement and emotion that defines his fashion photography. Whether it is a beauty campaign, a seasonal lookbook or a lifestyle brand story, the approach stays the same: cast and style with intention, shoot for the final crop, and deliver images that feel alive rather than staged — commercial photography a brand can build a whole season around.
