Christopher Germain's Company Details
I am having the adventure of my life! I want to help you capture the adventure of your life through my images. Whether it be documenting the most important day in which you are betrothed to your love, capturing the stages of your children's activities, or photographing an event that took years of planning and came off without a hitch. I have the innate ability of building a strong rapport with everyone I meet. The people I have photographed are more than customers, they have become friends. My laid back attitude puts people at ease, and I love to capture those candid moments that memories are made from. Ansel Adams is one of the most widely recognized photographers in the history of capturing image on film. My mother gave me one of his books for my tenth birthday, and it changed the way I looked at the world. In high school I saved up for an old Mamiya/Sekor 35mm Camera, and signed up for photography class. The teacher claimed I had a unique perspective. Many of my photos were used in the yearbook, and school functions. After high school, I joined the military and traveled the world. I have had the opportunity to live and learn from different cultures. Four years in Italy and seven years in South Korea has given me a hightened awareness of the use of color. I have traveled to Germany, Austria, Saipan, Mexico and Iraq. Each experience taught me something new about the world we live in and the way we view it. I served in the National Guard as a 46Q Photojournalist with the 122nd Public Affairs Office. We recorded history in the making. Working with this team was a pleasure and a thrill. My clients are my family. I treat every photo as though it were my sister's, brother's, or child's face and actions in the picture. Every shot is taken with dignity and respect. After our photo shoot I will upload your pictures to a private file that can be viewed by you and I, and you can choose which pictures and packages you want online.
