Interiors & exteriors photographers
Chris Bradley is a commercail photographer who specialises in interior photography as well as environmental portraiture. He enjoys soft light, one point perspective and vibrant colours. In shooting more portraits recently, Chris finds that his background in interiors is quite handy.
"Knowing how to light a space is half the battle, and throwing a person into a pre-lit scene is second nature. Sometimes it seems like the space a person surrounds themselves with tells as much about them as the look in their eyes."
Past happy clients include The Ritz Carlton, Northwestern University, Keiser Fitness, Kroger, OKAMURA and BuzziSpace.

Chris Bradley is a commercial photographer who specialises in interiors and architectural photography.
Chris relishes the opportunity to take a client's space and squeeze every last little bit of two dimensional visual goodness out of it. He does this with an array of cameras, lights, and lenses, as well as some other assorted gadgets and some really cool styling tricks he's picked up over the years, but mostly he does it with his ability to see light differently than some.
By augmenting existing ambient light in a space with his own artificial lights, Chris is able to blend and craft a unique look for each image, making sure that the final product is still true to the space, but is elevated to a 'better than being there in person' result.

"If you drop him a line and say that you like his work, he'll send you a friendly 'thank you' email and ask if he can add you to his mailing list so that he can send you monthly 'behind the scenes' emails detailing photo techniques used in individual shots... because he's a photo geek and wants to geek out with anyone who'll listen! Also, you may receive the occasional shiny postcard, which is always a nice thing to get in the mail."

Chris Bradley is a commercail photographer who specialises in interiors and architectural photography as well as environmental portraiture. He's often heard about the importance of shadows in photography, but has never subscribed to that belief. Instead, he favours the light - intense, soft, glowing, pure light. The more of it the better.
Certain clients seem to agree and have fallen in love with Chris's signature lighting style. They include ad agency Kramer Crasselt, Northwestern University, Plan B Chicago, Chicago Magazine, Vanity Fair Magazine, and several international furniture design firms including Japanese Okamura and Belgian BuzziSpace.
When not behind the camera, Chris can be found carpooling his daughter to gymnastics practice where he sits in the bleachers and nervously chews his nails because he is absolutely sure that his daughter is going to hurt herself somewhat badly.

Chris Bradley is a commercial photographer who specialises in interiors and architectural photography as well as environmental portraiture. He enjoys soft, glowing light, one point perspective and rich, vibrant colours.
Chris remembers assisting on shoots as he was coming up and thinking "This place is like a tomb, and everyone takes themselves really seriously. If I ever make it in this world, I won't be like that." And he is not. Clients who have appreciated his excellent quality images and fun shoot atmosphere include Vanity Fair Magazine, Kroger, Northwestern University and Buzzi Space.
With an exceptional understanding of light, an eye for design and a mind obsessed by details, Chris is confident that his clients leave the set each day with two key thoughts. First, that the images came out just right and couldn't have been better, and two, that they had a great time helping to make them!

Christopher Bradley Photography
Chicago
Chris Bradley is a Chicago-based commercial photographer who specialises in architectural and interiors photography. He enjoys modernist design, trippy down-tempo electronic music, an excellent sandwich and his daughter Emma.
Chris also gets a kick out of making his clients smile broadly, which he does by bringing a combination of energy, wit and excellent imagery to his shoots. Most recently he made the art director in charge of a shoot for Cramer Krasselt laugh uproariously while shooting at a grocery store, by making a clever - if not slightly low-brow - pun about melons (honeydews, and they were in the shot).
Chris is not above picking the low hanging fruit to make a client smile. Other past clients have included Japanese furniture design firm Okamura, clothing supplier Trunk Club, and Vanity Fair Magazine. When not on a shoot, Chris spends his time picking up small, pink articles of clothing from the floor of his modernly styled apartment while reminding his daughter that she "really ought to be doing this herself!"
