Kris Connor
Washington, DC, United States
Kris is an award-winning NYC-based photographer who has been on assignment everywhere from the White House to the flooded streets of Bangkok. Barack Obama, Jeff Goldblum, Jessie Jackson, Carla Hall, Ben Bernanke and Chadwick Boseman are just a few of the iconic subjects that have graced his portraiture, all photographed with a unique style defined by soft lighting, quickness, and simplicity in composition..
Kris is the contributing photographer for celebrity chef Judy Joo's monthly column for OK! Magazine titled "OK! CELEB CHEFS with Chef Judy Joo,” where he has photographed well-known chefs like Carla Hall, Daniel Boulud, Alex Guarnaschelli, Missy Robbins, Scott Conant and Seamus Mullen at their restaurants around NYC.
With plenty of experience on large-scale film, television, and commercial productions, Kris is comfortable working with simultaneous lighting set-ups, crews including hair & make, art directors, and dozens of subjects. Kris has brought his expertise to brands such as ASAICS shoes, TRESEMME, Capital One Bank, Casamigos Tequila, 2017 BEAUTYCON, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He’s just as comfortable, however, shooting spontaneous portraits backstage at a concert with a small camera and a 50mm lens...
Kris is also heavily involved in mentorship and education, sitting on the board of the New York City chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers. He regularly speaks at universities and seminars about the business of photography and has been an instructor and judge at workshops like DC SHOOTOFF. "One of my greatest enjoyments is giving back to the photography community," he says.
