Story
About The Project
Chris has been shooting some of the most popular figures in music for over 30 years. From Nirvana to No Doubt, Willie Nelson to Iggy Pop, Melissa Etheridge to Rob Zombie, or George Harrison to George Michael, Chris has made his career capturing unique images of some of our favorite artists. The Greatest Hits exhibition is his way of saying thank you to the people that have allowed him to do what he loves for decades. The Greatest Hits documentary is about capturing the stories behind the photos and getting a unique look at recent music history. Through the lens of Chris' career we'll reveal another side of your favorite artists and how the relationship between music and visual media has evolved in recent decades.
