Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing -- Camille Pissarro
Christian Storm is an NYC-based freelance photographer and traveler, with a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis, and an eye for eye-catching things. Also happens to be a personal friend of mine, but that's not the only notable thing about him. With fashion, editorial, and fine art, Storm covers a lot of ground with a camera--literally--taking to the highways and back roads alike...in search of what? Not sure. But great photographs seem to come of it. The compositions are uncluttered, the subjects factual, unembellished, folksy, American. Not overwrought. Often unlikely scenes, sometimes derelict, sometimes lonely, sometimes absurd, sometimes nostalgic, usually at the best time of day. I take a fair amount of inspiration from this. Have a look through Storm's
portfolio and personal
blog--there's a lot of content on there to keep you busy, but it's worth making it all the way back. Oh yeah, he also does
music. After the jump, some more photos.
