About

Creative director, designer, and photographer, Chris Wolford’s experiences in L.A. have set the tone for his creative vision. As a purist to film, Wolford's personal practice is a long-running documentation of his observations. Through the lens, he catalogs his experiences with subtle intention, tracing patterns of light and watching the simple movements that exist around him while critiquing the moments with expressive detail. His talents have landed him everything from intimate, fine art exhibitions to massive commercial productions, all reflecting his refined vision. His experience directing shoots, videos, and nationwide campaigns all reflect his purpose with cause, intention, and often enthusiastic charm.
