Journal

Fashion photography inspiration

The Christopher Kilkus journal is a running collection of fashion photography inspiration — personal projects, test shoots and the behind-the-scenes moments that don't always make a final campaign. It is where the ideas that feed his commercial and editorial work first take shape, and a window into how a Chris Kilkus image comes together before it ever reaches a client or a magazine page.

Personal work and behind the scenes

Between commissions for brands and magazines, Chris keeps shooting for himself: experimenting with light, location and casting, and documenting the process from set to final frame. These personal projects are often where a new direction begins before it appears in a fashion or advertising campaign. They are also where collaborations with stylists, models and other photographers are tested — the unguarded work that keeps the eye sharp.

An evolving point of view

Photography, for Chris, is a craft that keeps moving. The journal tracks that evolution — a place to share the references, the experiments and the images that show how his fashion and lifestyle photography continues to grow across New York, Miami and Los Angeles.
