Hey,
I'm Chris Wilkins.
I'm a Midwest born-and-raised photographer living in the suburbs of Chicago. In these pages, you'll see life interpreted through my lens.
I have a passion for capturing life's greatest moments, and to hopefully provide inspiration for other aspiring photographers. For me, this is a hobby, but it's one I truly love.
I photograph everything from people, to food, to wild life and landscapes, to automotive and aviation. I am always eager to see new things and learn ways to improve my craft.
If you have inquiries or would like to speak about using me for a private event, please use the contact link at the top of the page. I hope you enjoy what you see here as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
From grass-roots
beginnings.
I started my journey into hobbyist photography in 2017 with the purchase of a Nikon DSLR and a couple of lenses. Taking pictures of my friends, family, and children got me familiar with using my camera, and taught me how to frame shots that made sense and told stories visually.
Fast forward to today - my ambition for the craft is stronger than it has ever been. With intentionally sourced gear and skills learned along the way, I am taking my passion to new heights. Photography allows me to explore my creativity in hopes I can inspire others and capture memories for people to cherish forever.
