After 15 years in the advertising world as a writer, art director and designer, Christopher Wilson jumped off a cliff in 2005 to start christopherWILSONphotography. As an advertising creative, Christopher created a vast portfolio of powerful branding communications for some of the most recognized luxury brands on the planet, including Audi, Infiniti, Jaguar, Nikon, Johnnie Walker and Ritz-Carlton to name only a very few. Now Christopher is bringing all that experience and passion to his photography – and it shows.
In five short years Christopher has leapt from agency creative to global photographer, shooting for an assortment of clients including Ritz-Carlton, Morgan Stanley, Ford, NASCAR and Lenovo, and in just about every country on the planet it seems – India, Singapore, South Africa, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Morocco, United Arab Emirates, Brazil, England, you name it, he’s probably shot there. It’s been crazy, but good crazy, he says. Before his jump into being a commercial photographer, Christopher was the Creative Director on Audi at Mckinney + Silver in Raleigh, North Carolina. During his four-year tenure there, he was responsible for some of the most beautiful and compelling work Audi has ever done.
