Hello all and welcome to my website! My name is Chris. I was born in raised in far West Texas in El Paso. Photography has been a huge part of my life since I was 13 when I got my first Kodak camera. It was nothing fancy by any means but it was enough to spark the “fuse”. Being raised in El Paso, I was exposed to many different facets of the “Kustom Kulture” of cars. Being that El Paso is also known as “El Chuco,” the car lifestyle of lowriders, hot rods, lead sleds, and kustoms, took on a life of its own, with the Mexican/Chicano infused influences taking center stage. I fell in love with the cars years before I even had an idea of taking pictures and documenting the lifestyle. And by lifestyle, I am talking about the music, the cars, and most importantly, the girls. Why else do we drive cars? Why else do guys join bands? The girls! And really, it’s the girls that drive my passion for photography. I can remember as a kid looking at the pin ups of the 40’s and 50’s and falling in love with them. The glamour, the seduction, the come-hither stare, and especially the classiness of the women drove my passions to not only recreate the look, but to make my own pin up stars. I am currently available at my home studio in El Paso but I am willing to travel far and wide to capture the perfect picture of the lifestyle that I adore. Thanks for stopping by and please take your time exploring my photos.
